Information You Choose to Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, state, or similar lookup term into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, we may keep the message and reply information long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, each page load can produce basic technical and usage information.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and usage. A visitor can block cookies in the browser. Some site features, analytics, or advertising functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which pages and record topics are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links Away From This Site
McCormick County Inmate Population links to sheriff pages, detention information, SCDC tools, court portals, FOIA resources, federal locators, and third-party search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy and data practices apply.
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 McCormick County Inmate Population.

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no website, server, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise breach-proof protection.
