Information You Provide
Search Terms
If you enter a name, county, location, or similar detail into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. Humboldt County Released Inmates does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That data helps diagnose errors, understand traffic patterns, and keep the site usable for people looking for Humboldt County release-record guidance.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics features. Browser settings usually allow cookies to be blocked or deleted. Some site functions may not behave the same way if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the proper search partner.
- To understand which Humboldt County pages are useful to readers.
- To identify broken links, page errors, and technical issues.
- To display advertising that may reflect broad visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to public-record sources and tools operated by others, including Humboldt County Sheriff's Office pages, Humboldt Superior Court pages, CDCR/CIRIS, California VINE, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that website's privacy policy and terms apply.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to understand activity across websites and serve interest-based ads. Those activities occur under the partner's controls, not under Humboldt County Released Inmates.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data as a public-record product. Information may still pass to limited parties that help operate or protect the site.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal demand requires disclosure.
Security Limits
We use reasonable security practices for a small public reference site, but no internet-connected system can be promised as fully secure. We cannot guarantee that data sent to or through the site will never be accessed, lost, delayed, or misused.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information through the site, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
