Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other detail entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Lafayette County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's separate privacy terms apply to the query it receives.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message beyond our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookie Controls
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or delete cookies through its settings. Blocking them may cause some functions to behave differently.
Reasons We Use Information
Collected information is used only for ordinary site and service functions.

Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to Lafayette County Sheriff's Office records pages, Florida Department of Corrections searches, court portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their systems to follow activity across multiple sites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not a Lafayette County government records system and not a database operated by this site.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be received by a limited group of service providers or authorities as part of site operation or a lawful demand.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Our Approach to Security
We use standard, reasonable practices to protect information against unauthorized access or misuse. No website, network, storage system, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may ask that it be deleted.

Depending on the law that applies, a visitor may make one or more of the following requests concerning personal data we hold.
- Ask for a copy of the available personal data
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of personal data

We may revise this privacy notice as the site, its providers, or applicable practices change. An updated version becomes available on this page with a new effective date.
