Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what Franklin County Inmate Population collects when visitors use search tools, read jail and court record pages, follow links, or send messages. By using the site, visitors accept the data practices described here.

Data Visitors Provide

Search Queries

When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar detail into a search box, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Franklin County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own jail or court record database because this site does not host official records.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to read it, reply, and maintain ordinary business records. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads, including visits to Franklin County jail pages, the Franklin County Sheriff's Office link, the county FOIA page link, and the Judici court records link.

  • IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, remember technical settings, support analytics, and help ads work. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

  • Keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
  • Send search requests to the correct partner tool when a visitor chooses to use one.
  • Measure which Franklin County jail, court, mugshot, and facility pages are useful.
  • Find broken links, security events, and technical errors.
  • Display advertising that may be based on general interests.

Links Beyond This Site

Franklin County Inmate Population links to sheriff pages, corrections pages, court portals, state and federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls that visit.

Some advertising partners may use their own cookies, pixels, or similar tools to measure ads or personalize ad content across websites. Those activities occur on the partner's systems, not in an official Franklin County record system.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. Limited data may be available to service providers or authorities in the situations below.

  • Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
  • Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, order, or legal duty requires disclosure.

Security Practices

Reasonable technical and administrative practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected system can be promised as breach-proof, and no transmission method is guaranteed to be fully secure.

This site is intended for adults. Franklin County Inmate Population does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a deletion request may be sent through the contact path.


Your Data Rights

  • Ask for a copy of personal data the site maintains.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information provided directly by the visitor.
