Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, location, or similar detail into a search tool supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Franklin County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the message and reply details long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.

- The IP address used for the visit.
- Browser name, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, screen information, and operating system.
- Pages visited, links clicked, and approximate time spent on pages.

- Date and time stamps connected with visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic patterns, measure page performance, remember limited settings, and support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser. Some site features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Franklin County pages and record topics are most useful.
- To identify errors, broken links, abuse, spam, and security issues.

After you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy notice and terms control how it handles information.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. Those activities occur on the partner's systems, not on a Franklin County government system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. Limited data may be handled by these categories of recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process a query entered into their tool.

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, or government bodies when required by a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal demand.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small public information site, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless they are necessary for the request.
