Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Marion County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be retained so a response can be provided. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
