Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
A name, county, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Dent County Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms control its handling of the submission.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the contents long enough to review and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless the sender asks us to, a service provider must process it, or disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies

Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use pages and may support advertising. A browser can block or remove cookies. Some search, preference, analytics, or advertising features may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports the operation and improvement of this private reference site.
- Keep pages available, secure, and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner tool
- Measure which Dent County release pages visitors use
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and performance problems
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links lead to the Dent County Sheriff, Missouri DOC, courts, federal locators, release-record sources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, that site’s privacy policy applies. We do not control its collection, retention, security, or disclosure choices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or select interest-based ads. Any such tracking occurs under the partner’s controls, not as a Dent County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed or disclosed to:
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard, good-faith safeguards suited to a public website. No internet connection, storage system, or vendor can be guaranteed breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive custody, identity, financial, or health information through an ordinary message.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to ask that it be reviewed and deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of what we hold, a person may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data associated with them
- Request correction of inaccurate submitted information
- Ask for deletion of data that is not legally required
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices and service providers may change. A revised notice will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and continued use after posting means the updated terms apply.
