Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or related search term into a search tool on this site, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Allen County Inmate Population does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message to the site, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when a page loads. That data helps measure traffic, diagnose errors, and keep pages working on common devices.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, remember technical preferences, support ads, and improve page performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Allen County pages visitors use most.
- To identify broken links, errors, and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster tools, county public-record portals, Indiana court and correction resources, federal locators, and third-party search providers. Some Allen County records are requested under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, while court records follow Indiana court-access rules. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and terms of the other website control how your information is collected and used.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure ad performance or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is handled by the partner's systems, not by Allen County government or any sheriff's office.

- Search partners that handle submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be promised to be fully secure, so no breach-proof guarantee is made.
