Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or related term into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Dallas County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law, such as a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal demand under Missouri or federal law.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard technical data may be recorded when pages load or when a browser interacts with the site:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, measure page use, support advertising, and keep the site working properly. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To pass search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Dallas County jail, court, and locator pages are useful.
- To detect errors, broken pages, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
The site links to the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, Missouri DOC, Missouri Case.net, VINELink, BOP, ICE, legal resources such as Missouri Sunshine Law materials, 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 cookies, pixels, or identifiers to measure ads or tailor ads across websites. That tracking happens on the partner's systems, not through a Dallas County government office.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a customer list. It may be available to these categories when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted lookup terms.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, email system, search partner, or internet-connected service can be promised breach-proof, so no absolute security guarantee is made.
