Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a name, county, state, or other lookup detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Ozark County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be retained long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads, including:
- The visitor's IP address.
- Browser name, version, and related settings.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website or search engine, if one was passed along.
- Date and time stamps connected with the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and keep basic features working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, responsive, and functional.
- To pass search requests to the correct outside search partner.
- To understand which Ozark County record-access pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, loading problems, security events, and other technical issues.
- To support advertising that may be selected based on general interests or usage patterns.
Outside Links
This site links to sheriff, jail, Missouri court, Missouri DOC, federal locator, ICE, Missouri Sunshine Law resources such as RSMo 610.023, 610.026, and 610.100, and third-party search resources. After a visitor follows one of those links, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by an Ozark County government office.
