Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, county, or other detail in a search tool, the query is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. Kent County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's handling of the query is governed by its privacy practices.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details you provide as needed to answer. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard web systems may record limited technical information when a page loads. This data helps operate and troubleshoot the site and may include:

- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for visits
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site features. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings. Some functions or preferences may work differently when cookies are disabled.

Privacy on Linked Services
Kent County Released Inmates links to the Kent County Sheriff's Office, reported host-jail contacts in Dickens and Garza Counties, Texas Department of Criminal Justice resources, federal locators, public-record pages, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy policy and data practices control your visit.
Some advertising companies may use their own technologies to observe activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not as a record maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled or received by:
- Search partners that process a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that unauthorized access, loss, or another security event will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted personal data to us, use the Get in Touch page so we can review and delete information held by us when appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask us to erase information where applicable
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
Requests can be submitted through the Get in Touch page. Rights and exceptions differ by jurisdiction, and we may need enough information to verify and process a request.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, services, or legal requirements change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here with a revised effective date.
