Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Black Hawk County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email the site or submit a message through a contact form, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle ordinary administrative needs. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
