Information You Send
Search Terms
When a name, place, or other term is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Jefferson County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms on its own servers.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it and respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement, subpoena, court order, or similar process requires disclosure.

Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, ADOC resources, court portals, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and terms for the destination site control how your information is collected and used.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure ad views or personalize ads across websites. That tracking occurs on their platforms, not as an official Jefferson County record system.

- Analytics services that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure.
