Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Dawson County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor emails or sends a contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.

- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
