Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Dodge County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Emails
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review the request and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical information when a page loads or a visitor moves through the site.

- Device type, screen environment, and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring website or search engine, when one is provided by the browser.
- Date and time stamps connected to visits and page requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used

- To send search requests to the partner service that powers a search box.

- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests or browsing activity.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to resources such as the Dodge County Sheriff's Office at dodgecountysheriff.com, the sheriff's open-records page at dodgecountysheriff.com/information/open-records, the Dodge County government portal at co.dodge.wi.gov, WI VINE, Wisconsin DOC, Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, ICE, BOP, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Dodge County Inmate Population. Government record sites may also operate under Wisconsin public-records laws, including Wis. Stat. 19.35 and 19.36, rather than this notice.

- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, government bodies, or other parties when required by a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal process.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected website, email system, or partner service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof protection.
