Information You Enter
Search Queries
When a visitor types 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. Franklin County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email or contact 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 or valid legal process.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage, measure traffic, support advertising, and improve performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the appropriate sponsored search partner.
- To understand which Franklin County inmate-record pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose errors, abuse, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Links and Outside Sites
This site links to sheriff pages, correctional agencies, courts, public-records resources, federal locators, and third-party search services. After a visitor clicks away, the privacy policy of the destination site controls that visitor's activity there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based advertising. Those tools are operated by the partner, not by Franklin County Inmate Population.

- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics services used to measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by subpoena, court order, or other valid legal demand.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected website, email system, or third-party service can be guaranteed to be completely secure or free from unauthorized access.
