Information You Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or related detail into a search box, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Garfield County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond when appropriate, and handle the issue raised. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when a browser loads a page. That information helps measure performance, detect errors, and understand how visitors use the Garfield County custody and records pages.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on page.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used for analytics, ads, and site functions. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some tools or ad features may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the provider that operates a search tool.
- To learn which Garfield County inmate, jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To identify broken links, errors, misuse, or technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, Washington court portals, Washington DOC tools, federal locators, ICE ODLS, VINELink, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure or personalize ads across websites. Those tracking and ad-delivery choices are handled by the advertising partner, not by Garfield County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Some data may be processed or received by service providers or official bodies in the limited situations below.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics vendors that help measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that display or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when required by a valid subpoena, warrant, court order, or similar legal process.
No Consumer Reports
Garfield County Inmate Population does not provide consumer reports and is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Search activity, linked records, and partner tools may not be used for employment, tenant screening, credit, insurance, licensing, or any other FCRA-covered decision.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site data, but no website, server, email system, or internet connection can be guaranteed breach-proof. Do not send sensitive personal information through a channel unless you are comfortable with that risk.
