Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Davidson County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its receipt and use of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we keep the message and reply details long enough to answer and manage the request. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, security, and analytics records may capture basic data when a page loads. That data can include:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit.

- The device class and operating system.
- The pages opened and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may help measure visits, remember technical preferences, and understand how pages are used. A browser can reject or delete cookies. Blocking them may change how certain site or partner features behave.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports normal operation and visitor requests.
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Send a search query to the selected partner service.
- Measure which Davidson County resources readers use.

Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to DCSO release records, Davidson County court pages, Tennessee government portals governed by the Tennessee Public Records Act, federal locators, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy notice governs its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across more than one website and tailor ads. That processing occurs on the partner’s systems, not on servers controlled by Davidson County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may pass to parties that perform a specific function or respond to lawful process:
- Search partners that receive submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure use and performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No system connected to the internet can be promised as breach-proof. We therefore cannot guarantee that every transmission, stored message, or technical record will remain secure in all circumstances.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a user may:
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold.
- Request correction of inaccurate submitted data.
- Ask us to erase personal information.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices, providers, or legal duties change. The current version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
