Privacy Notice

This notice describes how Clay County Released Inmates handles information connected with visits, searches, and messages. It also explains when outside service providers receive data. Official Clay County and Tennessee sites reached through a link apply their own privacy terms.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. This site does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its receipt and use of the query.

An email or contact message may contain a name, email address, and anything the sender chooses to include. We keep that material as needed to respond. We do not share the message outside the organization unless the law requires it.


Technical Visit Data

Routine technical data may be recorded when a browser loads a page. It helps operate, secure, and understand the site.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies may help measure use and remember technical preferences. Browser settings can reject or remove cookies, though some functions may then work differently.


Reasons We Use Data

Collected information supports ordinary site operations and service delivery.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send search requests to the selected provider
  • Understand which resources visitors use
  • Diagnose errors, abuse, and security problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests

External Websites

Links may lead to the Clay County sheriff listing, Tennessee court contacts, TDOC FOIL, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy governs its data practices. Clay County Released Inmates does not control those systems.

Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or select ads. That tracking occurs on their systems under their policies, not as a Clay County government service.


Possible Data Recipients

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still reach parties that provide or protect the service.

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

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect stored information. No internet connection, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be lost, accessed, or disclosed without authorization.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask about personal information held by this site.

  • Request a copy of personal data we maintain
  • Ask to correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion where the law allows
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

These choices do not control records held by the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Tennessee courts, TDOC, or another government custodian. Requests about official records must go to that agency under the Tennessee Public Records Act and other applicable law.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. An updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to that version.
