Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, the site may receive technical details when a page loads, including pages that link to the Richland County sheriff records form, WCCA, or the Wisconsin DOC locator.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support normal site functions. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some features may work differently after doing so.
How We Use Information
- Keep pages available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- Route search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which Richland County jail and records pages visitors use most.
- Find technical errors, broken links, and site performance issues.
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links Outside This Site
This site links to government portals, sheriff and court pages, corrections resources, VINE, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking is controlled by those partners, not by Richland County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to the following parties when needed:
- Search partners that operate query tools.
- Analytics services that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
We use standard security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Do not treat any online submission as risk-free.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
