Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When you enter a name, location, or other term in a search box, the request goes to the third-party company that operates that tool. Box Elder County Released Inmates does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's practices apply to the query it receives.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we keep the information needed to read and answer the message. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected
Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems can record technical details when a page loads. These details may include:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Browser Cookies
Cookies help us understand how people move through the site and whether features work as expected. You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some functions or preferences may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Purposes for Using Data
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable page speed.
- Send a search request to the partner that powers the selected tool.
- Measure which Box Elder County resources readers find useful.
- Detect faults, diagnose errors, and improve technical performance.
- Display advertising that may be selected by inferred interests.
Government and Outside Links
Links may lead to Box Elder County Sheriff's records, Utah Department of Corrections, court portals, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy notice and terms control its collection and use. Utah government-record access through those agencies is governed by the Government Records Access and Management Act, Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, not by this private-site notice.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. Any such tracking occurs through their systems and policies, not through a Box Elder County government database.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be provided to limited recipients when needed for the functions described here:
- Search partners that receive and process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure visits and site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law enforcement agencies or other public bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Data Security Measures
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No internet connection, storage service, or online system can be guaranteed fully secure or immune from a breach. Information submitted online is therefore provided with that risk in mind.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor sent personal information, they may use the Get in Touch page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate.
- Delete personal information we are not required to retain.
- Stop forms of processing for which an opt-out right applies.
Revisions to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated text will appear here with a new effective date. Effective August 8, 2026.
