Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other query into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the information you provided long enough to review it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when pages load or when a browser requests site files.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on each page.
- Referring website, when your browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising features. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, responsive, and functional.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service when you choose to use one.
- To understand which Kitsap County jail, court, facility, and locator pages are most useful.
- To diagnose broken pages, security issues, and technical errors.
- To display advertising that may be related to visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to resources such as the Kitsap Web Jail Viewer, Kitsap County Sheriff's Office pages, Washington court portals, WA DOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls your activity there.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not by the Kitsap County Inmate Population site itself.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be made available to these categories of recipients when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process queries you submit through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards for a small public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise that data transmission or storage will be breach-proof.
