Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other detail into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Dallas County Released Inmates does not maintain its own official inmate database and does not store those partner-search terms as a local jail or court record.
Messages
If you send an email or other direct message, we may keep the information needed to read it and reply. We do not share contact messages outside the organization except when required by law, a valid legal process, or a security need tied to the site.
Technical Information
Like most websites, this site may receive standard technical data when a page loads. That data helps operate the site and understand basic use patterns.

- Browser type and version.

- Pages visited and approximate time on page.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure site traffic, remember basic preferences, support advertising, or understand how visitors move through pages. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or deleted. Some site features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for limited site operations and visitor-support purposes.
- Keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Route search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- Understand which pages are useful to visitors.
- Find and fix broken links, errors, and security issues.

Outside Websites
Dallas County Released Inmates links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, VINE, public-record, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and terms of the outside website control that visit.
Advertising partners and outside search providers may use their own cookies, pixels, or account systems to measure activity across websites. Their systems, not this site, control those tracking and account practices.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal contact messages. Information may be made available to limited categories of service providers or authorities when needed.
- Search partners that process visitor queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected system can be promised as perfectly secure, so this notice does not guarantee that data can never be accessed, lost, misused, or disclosed.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may ask that it be deleted.
