Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own inmate-record database.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and keep pages functioning. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently after blocking them.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Ellis County pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose broken links, loading problems, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, Oklahoma court portals, ODOC resources, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that site's privacy policy and data practices control your activity there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their platforms, not through an Ellis County government system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may still be available to the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics services that measure site performance and use.
- Advertising networks that help support the site.
- Law-enforcement or government entities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be made completely secure. We cannot promise that unauthorized access, interruption, or data loss will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
Your Choices and Requests
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information you provided.
- Ask us to delete data where deletion is available.
- Opt out of certain processing when applicable law provides that option.
Policy Changes
This notice may be revised from time to time. Updated language will be posted on this page with a new effective date when the policy changes.
