Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other query into a search tool, that entry is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. San Benito County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site may collect technical and usage details when a page loads.
- IP address

- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages
- Referring website, if one is available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently.
How We Use Information

External Websites
This site links to jail, sheriff, court, CDCR, VINE, federal, immigration, public-records, and third-party search resources. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and terms of the destination site control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or show targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by San Benito County Released Inmates.
Sharing Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to these parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards for a public website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach proof, so we cannot promise that information will always remain fully secure.
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 when appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete information where deletion is legally and technically available
- Opt out of certain processing, including some advertising or analytics activity where applicable
Policy Updates
This privacy notice may change. Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date or revised page content when the policy changes.
