Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you use Marion County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. Using the site means you accept these practices.

Information You Send

Search Terms

When you enter a name, location, or related query into a search tool on this site, that query is passed to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Marion County Inmate Population does not store or keep its own log of those search terms.

Messages

If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.


Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical details when pages load.

  • Your IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage, remember technical preferences, and support analytics or advertising. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
  • To route search requests to the appropriate partner service.
  • To understand which Marion County record pages visitors use most.
  • To diagnose errors, broken links, or other technical issues.
  • To support advertising that may be based on visitor interests.

Links Away From This Site

This site links to Marion County jail pages, sheriff and court offices, SCDC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, government portals, and third-party search tools. After you click an outside link, that site's privacy policy and data practices control what happens there.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking happens through their platforms, not through a Marion County government system.


Who May Receive Information

We do not sell personal data. Information may be provided to these parties when needed for site operation or legal compliance.

  • Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

We use reasonable, common security practices for a small reference website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and we cannot promise that every transmission or stored message will be fully secure.


Users Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.


Your Choices and Requests

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of information that is wrong.
  • Ask us to delete information where retention is not required.
  • Opt out of certain processing when an opt-out is available.

Policy Changes

This Privacy Notice may be updated as site features, partners, or legal requirements change. Revised terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
