Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information may be collected when someone uses Dolores County Released Inmates, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using this site, you accept these privacy practices.

Information You Provide

Search Entries

If you enter a name, location, or other search detail into a third-party search tool, that information is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Dolores County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to read the message and reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless required by law.

  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on pages
  • Referring site, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the site or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • To route search requests to the appropriate partner service
  • To understand which pages are useful to visitors
  • To diagnose technical errors and security issues
  • To display advertising that may be based on general interests

Outside Websites

This site links to sheriff, court, corrections, VINE, federal, immigration, registry, and third-party search resources. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy policy and data practices control your use of that service.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based advertising. Their tracking happens under their own policies, not as an official Dolores County record process.

We use standard safeguards appropriate for a public reference website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure, and we do not promise that any system is breach-proof.
