Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Edgefield County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage related follow-up. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics features. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Edgefield County jail, court, and facility pages visitors use most.
- To identify technical errors, security issues, or broken pages.
- To display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, SCDC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, South Carolina FOIA materials, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy controls how information is collected and used.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Edgefield County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by this site. It may be shared with limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site usage.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no website, email system, analytics platform, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof.
