Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you use Garfield County Released Inmates, how it may be used, and when it may be shared. By using this site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Enter

Search Terms

If you type a name, location, or other details into a third-party search tool, that request is sent to the provider operating the tool. Garfield County Released Inmates does not store those search terms in its own records.

Messages to the Site

If you email us or submit a contact message, we use the information in that message to read, route, and respond to it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.


Information Collected Automatically

When pages load, routine technical and usage data may be collected to operate and improve the site.

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
  • Referring website, when available.
  • Date and time of visits.

Cookies

Cookies may be used to understand site traffic, remember technical preferences, and measure how visitors use pages. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.


How the Data Is Used

  • Keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
  • Send search requests to the proper partner service when a visitor uses a partner tool.
  • Understand which Garfield County release-record pages are useful to visitors.
  • Detect and repair technical errors, broken links, or performance issues.
  • Display advertising that may be based on interests or page context.

Outside Websites

This site links to sheriff pages, CDOC resources, court portals, VINE, BOP, ICE, USMS, public-record resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the outside website's own privacy policy and terms govern its collection and use of information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is controlled by the advertising partner, not by Garfield County Released Inmates.

We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed or disclosed to the following categories when needed for site operations or legal compliance.

  • Search partners that process submitted search queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.

Security Practices

We use reasonable security practices for a public website. No internet-connected service can be promised to be fully secure, and this notice does not guarantee that unauthorized access, data loss, or misuse can never occur.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
