Information You Provide
Search Entries
If you type a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Yolo County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages to the Site
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Routine technical data may be collected when a page loads so the site can function, measure usage, and diagnose errors.
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time on page
- Referring website, if one is provided
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site features. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast
- To route search requests to the correct partner service
- To understand which Yolo release-record pages visitors use most
- To find and correct technical problems
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests
Outside Websites
This site links to Yolo County Sheriff's Office pages, Yolo Superior Court resources, CDCR/CIRIS, California VINE, BOP, ICE, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that site's own privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad measurement or targeted advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner's controls, not as an official Yolo County or government function.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to limited parties that help operate or protect the site.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security
We use standard security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof. We cannot promise that transmission or storage of information will always be completely secure.
