Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Jefferson County Inmate Population does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to respond, maintain records, or address site operations. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
