Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other query is entered into a search box, that request is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Brown County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return contact details may be kept long enough to review and respond. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
