Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or similar detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Oktibbeha County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or send a message to the site, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law or a valid legal process.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical details when a page loads. Those details help measure performance, diagnose errors, and understand how visitors use public record resources.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name, type, and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when a browser supplies it.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and feature use. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some search, advertising, or measurement features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, functional, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct outside search provider.
- To see which jail, court, MDOC, and public-record pages are useful to visitors.
- To detect broken links, errors, abuse, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Other Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, the Oktibbeha County roster, MDOC, VINELink, court portals, public-record forms, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search services. After a visitor follows an outside link, that outside website's privacy policy and terms control the visit.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or serve targeted ads across different websites. That activity is controlled by those partners, not by this site.
When Information May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold as a customer list. It may be available to the limited groups needed to run the site or comply with legal requirements.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site data, but no internet-connected website, email account, analytics tool, or search partner can be guaranteed breach-proof.
