Information You Choose to Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a search feature, that entry may be sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. Jennings County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email or submit a message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, or another valid legal process. Public-record requests to Indiana agencies are governed separately by Indiana Code Title 5, including the Access to Public Records Act in IC 5-14-3.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when pages load, including:
- The IP address used to reach the site.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is passed along.
- Date and time stamps connected with visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand how visitors use the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Jennings County pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be related to visitor interests.
Other Websites and Tools
This site links to resources such as jail roster pages, sheriff and corrections websites, Indiana MyCase, Indiana SAVIN, IDOC tools, federal locators, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy terms apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Jennings County government agency.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to limited parties that help operate or support the site, including:
- Search partners that process search-tool requests.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable security practices for a public information website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise that unauthorized access, service interruptions, or data loss will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information to us, contact us so the material can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Request correction of information you believe is wrong.
- Ask us to delete information where deletion is legally and technically available.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law provides that right.
Notice Changes
This privacy notice may be revised as the site, partner tools, or legal requirements change. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date when appropriate.
