Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or other search detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Washington County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact channel, we use the information you provide to read and respond to the message. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.

Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use and improve performance. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site working, stable, and reasonably fast.

Outside Links
The site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Indiana court resources such as MyCase, IDOC tools, federal locators, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. That tracking is handled by the partner, not by this site directly.

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be made available to the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that support site operations.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Any information sent online carries some risk.
