Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name or location into a search box, the query is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. Hopkins County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policies apply to its handling of the request.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those communications outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is reported.
- Date and time stamps connected with the visit.

Other Websites and Services
Links may lead to Hopkins County offices, Kentucky corrections and court portals, release-record resources, federal locators, or independent search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and terms govern its collection and use of data.

- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
- Law enforcement or another government authority acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
