Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when people use Marion County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using this site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Provide

Search Terms

When a name, location, or similar search term is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Marion County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires it.


Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads, including:

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website, when available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies may be used to understand site usage and support basic website functions. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some site features or measurements may work differently if cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, responsive, and usable.
  • To send search requests to the correct partner service.
  • To understand which Marion County pages are most useful to visitors.
  • To detect and repair technical problems.
  • To display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.

Outside Websites

This site links to county offices, jail and corrections resources, court providers, VINELink, GDC, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the destination website's privacy policy and data practices control your activity there.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Marion County Inmate Population as an official records system.


Who May Receive Information

We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed or received by these categories of parties:

  • Search partners that handle submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure website performance.
  • Advertising networks that help support the site.
  • Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information, but no website or internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise that unauthorized access, outages, or other security incidents will never occur.


Users Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the information can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Choices and Rights

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion where applicable.
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law allows.

Policy Updates

This privacy notice may be changed from time to time. When it changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with the updated effective date or posting date.
