Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Ramsey County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept so we can review it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and how pages perform. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features, preferences, or measurements may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the proper partner service.
- To understand which Ramsey County pages visitors use most.
- To identify errors, broken links, abuse, or technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests.
Other Websites
This site links to Ramsey County jail resources, sheriff and court pages, Minnesota Department of Corrections tools, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and data rules of the destination site control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Ramsey County Inmate Population.
