Middlesex Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Middlesex County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, and when it may pass to a service provider. It also explains cookies, outside links, security limits, and choices available to visitors. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search entries

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those query terms on our own systems.

Messages sent to us

If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires it.


Information Collected Automatically

Routine server, analytics, and advertising technology can receive technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your internet protocol address.
  • The browser name and version.
  • The device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring page or site, when supplied.
  • Date and time stamps for requests.

Cookie controls

Cookies help show how visitors use the site and support certain features. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or removed. Parts of the site may behave differently when they are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports operation and improvement of the site. Uses include:

  • Operating the site and monitoring performance.
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner service.
  • Understanding which pages visitors find useful.
  • Finding and correcting technical faults.
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links may lead to release records, sheriff and correction pages, government portals, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Some advertising companies may use their own systems to observe activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. Their collection occurs under their policies, not this one.


When Information Is Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by a limited set of recipients:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Has Practical Limits

We use standard, reasonable practices intended to protect information. No site, network, or storage system connected to the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so a deletion request can be reviewed.


Your Information Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a visitor may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Ask that eligible personal information be erased.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice applies.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as the site or its services change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date.
