Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Brown County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own database.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message is used to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
