Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other detail is typed into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Whitman County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply address may be kept long enough to respond and maintain ordinary business records. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic settings, and measure performance. Visitors can block cookies in browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Whitman County custody-record pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites and Public-Record Sources
This site links to jail rosters, the Whitman County Sheriff's Office, Whitman County public-records resources, Washington Department of Corrections, Washington VINE, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, that website's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites for ad measurement or interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs through the partner's tools, not through a public-records request to Whitman County.
