Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, location, or other detail into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, the query goes to that provider for processing. Sumner County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own system. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and use of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the message and the contact details needed to answer it. We do not disclose that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems may create basic technical logs when a page loads. Those records can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- The pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of a request.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support certain functions. You can block or remove cookies through your browser settings. Some site or partner features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Information
We use the limited information described above for the operation and improvement of this Sumner County resource.
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Send a requested search to the appropriate partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical faults.

Privacy on Linked Websites
Our pages link to the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, Sumner court resources, Tennessee Department of Correction tools, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and handling of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's technology and privacy terms, not as a government-record function of this site.

- Search providers that process a query you submit.
- Analytics services that measure site performance and use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
How We Safeguard Data
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information we handle. No website, network, or storage system connected to the internet can be promised as completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information to us, use the Contacts page to request deletion.
