Information You Enter
Search Queries
When a visitor types a name, location, or other search term into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Vanderburgh County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms. The partner provider may handle the query under its own privacy policy and account rules.
Messages and Contact Requests
If someone sends a message by email or through a contact option, the message details are used to review and reply to that request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless sharing is needed to comply with a valid legal requirement.
