Horry Privacy Notice

This notice describes the data associated with using Horry County Released Inmates, including what a visitor submits, what a browser sends automatically, and what happens after an outside link or search tool is used. It also explains the limited purposes for which that information is handled and the choices available to visitors.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that provides that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. A message sent by email or through a contact method may be retained long enough to answer it. Such messages are not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Details

Normal web operations can record technical data when a page loads. That data may include:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • the referring website, when provided; and
  • date and time stamps.

Cookies help measure use and remember basic browser state. A visitor may block cookies through browser settings, though some functions may then work differently.


Purposes for Data Use

Collected information supports a small set of operating needs.

  • Keeping pages available and responsive;
  • sending a search request to the selected partner;
  • measuring which resources visitors use;
  • diagnosing faults and security issues; and
  • displaying advertising that may reflect interests.

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to Horry County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or an outside search service. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy controls its practices. Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. This site does not control that tracking.


Possible Data Recipients

Personal data is not sold as a standalone product. Limited information may be processed by:

  • search partners that receive a submitted query;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising networks; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Is Best Effort

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or online storage system can be guaranteed free from intrusion, error, or loss, so this notice does not promise breach-proof security.


Visitors Under Eighteen

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


Your Data Choices

Subject to applicable law and the limits of third-party systems, a visitor may ask to:

  • receive a copy of personal data held by this site;
  • correct inaccurate submitted information;
  • erase personal data retained here; or
  • opt out of processing where that choice applies.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted with its new effective date.
