Data You Enter
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or other search term into a search tool supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Tucker County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms. The provider's privacy policy and terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages and Email
If you send an email or message about this site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization except when needed to operate the site, protect rights or security, or comply with a valid legal requirement.
