Richland Privacy Notice

This notice describes how information moves through Richland County Released Inmates. It covers details sent directly, technical data created during a visit, outside search services, cookies, and the choices available to users. Government portals linked from this site apply their own privacy rules.

Information You Submit

A name or location entered in a sponsored search box goes to the third-party company that operates the tool. Richland County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy policy and account terms govern the query after submission.

If you send an email or contact message, the information in it is kept as needed to reply and manage the conversation. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Visit Data

Basic technical details may be recorded when a page loads. These records help operate and secure the service.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies may be used to measure site use and remember limited settings. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though a feature may work differently when they are disabled.


Uses of Collected Data

Collected data supports a small set of operational purposes:

  • Keeping pages available and responsive
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner
  • Learning which Richland record pages are useful
  • Finding errors, misuse, and technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests

Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to Richland County records, Alvin S. Glenn, SCDC, SCDPPPS, court systems, federal locators, or private search tools. Each destination controls its own data practices once a visitor leaves this site. Review that destination's privacy terms before submitting personal information.

Advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and tailor advertising. That tracking occurs on their systems, not in a public record maintained by Richland County Released Inmates.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold by this site. Limited data may pass to:

  • Search providers that process a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
  • Advertising networks delivering or measuring ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information under this site's control. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security. Transmission, storage, and outside-provider systems always carry some risk, so no promise of breach-proof protection is made.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the request, a user may ask for:

  • A copy of personal data held by this site
  • Correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Deletion of information that no longer must be kept
  • An opt-out from processing where such a right applies

These choices concern data controlled by this site. Requests for a County, SCDC, court, or partner record must go to that record holder.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised when practices, vendors, or legal duties change. A replacement version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
