Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Ray County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own local database.
Messages
If you email the site or send a message through any contact option, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to answer and manage the request. Message information is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when pages load. That information can include:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic settings, support advertising, and measure which pages work well. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some site features or partner tools may behave differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the provider operating a search feature.
- To understand which Ray County jail, court, and facility pages visitors use.
