Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other search term is typed into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. DeKalb County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain a record of the exchange. It is not shared outside the site operator unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when a page loads. That information helps measure traffic, diagnose errors, and keep pages working across devices.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
