Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you enter a name, county, or other search detail into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Vernon County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.

- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
