Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Maricopa County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message about a Maricopa County page, we keep the message long enough to read it, respond, and handle the issue. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads. That data can include:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, support analytics, and improve performance. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or partner tools 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 outside search provider.
- To understand which Maricopa County jail, court, and facility pages are useful to visitors.
- To identify technical errors, broken links, or abuse.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests.

Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or tracking technologies to measure ads and show interest-based advertising across websites. That activity occurs on their systems, not under this site's direct control.
