Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Ida County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own local records.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to review and respond. Messages are not shared outside the operation of the site unless a legal duty requires it.
