Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that search tool. Sussex County Inmate Population does not store those query terms in its own inmate database, and it does not host official Sussex County jail records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, reply, and maintain ordinary business records. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires it.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, remember technical preferences, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure activity. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some functions may behave differently afterward.
How Data Is Used

Outside Websites
The site links to sheriff pages, jail information pages, OPRA forms, court portals, correctional locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the linked site's own privacy policy and terms apply.
Advertising and analytics partners may collect data on their own systems to measure visits or deliver ads. Their practices are controlled by their policies, not by Sussex County Inmate Population.

Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited service providers and legal recipients when needed.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics services used to measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for an internet-connected site. No website, email system, search partner, or hosting service can be promised breach-proof or error-free.
