Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. Stone County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the details needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record limited technical information when a page loads. That data can include:
- Your internet protocol address.
- The browser name and version in use.
- Your device class and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps tied to a visit.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support related site functions. A browser can reject or remove them. Blocking cookies may cause some tools, preferences, analytics, or advertising features to work differently.
Reasons We Use Information
Collected information is used for a limited set of operating needs:
- Keeping pages available and improving load performance.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understanding which Stone County resources readers use.
- Diagnosing errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Stone County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy and data practices govern the visit. Mississippi public records available through official custodians are subject to the Mississippi Public Records Act, Miss. Code ยง 25-61-1 et seq., along with applicable exemptions and court rules.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and tailor ads. That cross-site processing occurs under the provider's controls, not within this site's own records.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still pass to a limited group when needed for a site function or legal duty:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Our Security Approach
We use standard, reasonable practices intended to protect information in our control. No internet connection, storage platform, or website can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, interception, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contacts page to ask that it be reviewed and deleted.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a user may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Erase personal information in our control.
- Stop certain optional forms of processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice when site practices, providers, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date. Effective July 26, 2026.
