Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a name, county, state, or other detail is typed into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Taylor County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own inmate database or maintain a local copy of search results.
Messages
If you send an email or other message about the site, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, a subpoena, a court order, or another valid legal process.
