Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. El Paso County Released Inmates does not store those search terms in its own site database.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical details when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and support normal site functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may work differently after cookies are limited.
How We Use Information
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which El Paso County release-record pages are most useful.
- To diagnose bugs, broken links, and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to visitors.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to sheriff records pages, CDOC resources, court systems, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site control.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. Those activities are handled by the advertising partner, not by an El Paso County government office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by these categories of recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted 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 reasonable, standard security practices for a public website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and we cannot promise that information transmitted online will always remain secure.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information through this site, contact us so we can review a deletion request.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information in our own records.
- Ask us to delete information when deletion is legally and technically available.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.
