Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a reader types a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Spencer County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If a reader sends an email or message to the site, the submitted information may be kept long enough to review and answer the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Site Data
Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads. This helps measure site function, troubleshoot errors, and understand how readers move through the Spencer County pages.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use, support analytics, and keep some features working as expected. A browser can block or delete cookies, but parts of the site or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.

Outside Links
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court resources, corrections locators, federal systems, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once a reader follows an outside link, that other site's privacy policy and data practices control the visit.
Advertising partners may also collect information across websites to support targeted or interest-based advertising. That activity happens on their systems, not as a custody or public-records function of this site.
