Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Pepin County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own servers.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring site, when available.
- Date and time stamps.

How Information Is Used

- To send search requests to the correct third-party provider.
- To understand which Pepin County records pages visitors use most.

Other Websites
The site links to resources such as the Pepin County Sheriff's Office, WCCA/CCAP, Wisconsin DOC, WI VINE, BOP, ICE ODLS, and outside search tools. Once a visitor opens another website, that site's privacy practices control the visit.
