Information You Provide
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store those partner-search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, server and analytics tools may collect basic technical data when pages load.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure site use and support advertising or analytics functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which pages are useful to visitors.
- To find errors, broken links, and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Outside Links
This site links to jail rosters, Sheriff's Office pages, court portals, WA DOC resources, federal locators, immigration resources, and search partners. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of that outside website controls.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to understand activity across websites and show targeted ads. Those systems are not operated by Skagit County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics vendors that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used, but no internet-connected site can be guaranteed to be breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive legal, financial, medical, or custody details unless a message is truly necessary.
