Information You Submit
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Douglas County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us or send a message through a contact feature, we keep the information needed to read and answer that message. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads or when a visitor follows a link.
- Your IP address.
- Browser name, settings, and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps connected to visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. You can block cookies in your browser settings. Some site functions, search tools, ads, or measurement features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service that handles them.
- To understand which Douglas County jail, court, and locator pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, abuse, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing context.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Colorado Judicial Branch, CDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, records portals, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or serve interest-based ads across multiple websites. That tracking is handled on their systems, not as an official Douglas County Inmate Population record.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to limited outside parties when needed for site operations, legal compliance, or the services a visitor chooses to use.
- Search partners that process queries entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information associated with the site. No website, server, email system, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information where deletion is available.
- Opt out of certain processing where the law or available tools allow it.
