Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the website and to support site features. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though parts of the experience may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected data is used to keep pages available and responsive, send search requests to the selected partner, see which material visitors find useful, diagnose technical faults, and display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests. We do not use a search query to create a Meade County government record.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Meade County release resources, sheriff and corrections pages, Kansas government portals, or third-party search services. Once you follow a link, that operator’s privacy policy applies. Review its terms before submitting personal details.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select targeted ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not through records maintained by Meade County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by search partners that process a query, analytics providers that measure use, advertising networks that deliver ads, or law enforcement and government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Our Security Approach
We use standard, reasonable practices intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, storage platform, or internet transmission can be promised as fully secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do 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 deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate information, ask that eligible data be erased, or object to certain processing. These choices apply to information controlled by us, not records held by the Meade County Sheriff, Kansas courts, KDOC, or another linked agency.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices may change as the website and its services evolve. A revised notice will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the updated terms.
