Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar search term into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Jefferson County Released Inmates does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you email us or use a contact method tied to this site, we may keep the message, email address, and any details you provide long enough to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization except when required by law or a valid legal process.
