Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Dade County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own local records.
Messages
If you email us or use a contact method tied to this site, the message and any contact details you include may be kept so we can respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data when a page loads. That data helps measure use, diagnose errors, and keep pages working.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support ads or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.

- To find broken pages, errors, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to Dade County offices, jail roster systems, Missouri court and corrections portals, federal locators, victim-notification tools, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls how that website handles your data.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across different sites. That tracking is handled on the partner's systems, not as an official Dade County record or a record held by this site.

We do not sell personal data. Information may still be processed or received by limited parties that support the site or respond to legal duties.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected system can be promised as breach-proof, and no transmission over the web is fully risk free.
