Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Buffalo County Inmate Population does not keep an official jail roster, and it does not store those search terms as county records.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement or valid government order requires disclosure.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support ads or analytics. Browser settings can block cookies, but some features or partner tools may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the pages available and reasonably fast.

Links to Other Sites
Pages may link to sheriff offices, jail pages, WCCA, Wisconsin VINE, Wisconsin DOC, BOP, ICE, county records portals, and private search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy and terms apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve targeted ads. Those practices happen on their systems, not as official Buffalo County records.

Data Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected site can promise perfect protection. Transmission, hosting, analytics, advertising, and partner search systems all carry some risk.
