Information You Provide
Search Terms
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. Scott County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other direct message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Links Away From This Site
The site links to jail information, sheriff and corrections pages, court resources, Kansas Open Records Act materials such as K.S.A. 45-216, 45-220, and 45-221, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination website's own privacy policy and terms control how information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted advertising. That tracking is controlled by those partners, not by this site.
