Information You Send
Search Terms
When a name, location, or similar term is entered into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Marion County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, a valid legal order, or a similar legal process.

- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, measure page use, support ads, and keep the site working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used

Other Websites
Links may lead to Marion County government pages, the sheriff's roster, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa DOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, public-record forms, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control how it handles your data.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or show targeted advertising across websites. That activity happens on their systems, not as a Marion County government service and not as an Iowa Code Chapter 22 records request.
