Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Madison County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log 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 read it, respond, and handle the related request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
