Information You Enter
Search Queries
When you type a name, county, state, or other search term into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Audubon County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the information needed to read, route, and respond to that message. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless the law requires it or a valid legal order directs disclosure.
