Privacy Notice

This notice explains what Wayne County Inmate Population may collect, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these privacy practices.

Information You Enter

Search Terms

When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Wayne County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own system.

Messages

If you send an email or message connected to this site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time of the visit.
