Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search box supplied by a partner, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Pine County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
