Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, counties, or other terms typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Jones County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own local database.
Messages
If you email or send a message, the information you provide is kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.

Outside Links
The site links to sheriff pages, jail information, court portals, state and federal inmate locators, VINE, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the linked site's own privacy policy and terms govern that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure or tailor ads across websites. Their tracking is handled on their systems, not as an official Jones County record process.

- Advertising networks displaying or measuring ads.
