Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a partner-powered lookup box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Franklin County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we keep the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
