Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Wood County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
