Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, county, or other term into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Macon County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message is used to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect legal rights.
Technical Data Collected

- IP address.

- 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 use, measure traffic, remember settings, and support advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used

Outside Links
The site links to sheriff pages, jail contacts, Missouri court and corrections portals, federal locators, VINELink, and partner search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad views or tailor ads across websites. Those activities occur through the partner's tools, not through official Macon County or Missouri government systems.

Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited categories of providers or authorities.
- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic.
- Advertising networks that help fund the site.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no security promise here should be read as an absolute guarantee.
