Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Newton 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 long enough to review it, respond, and maintain basic business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical data when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Newton County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to readers.
- To find technical errors, abuse, or performance problems.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites and Public Records Portals
This site links to sheriff pages, jail information, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, public-records resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control how your data is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is controlled by those partners, not by Newton County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be available to these parties when needed for site operation, compliance, or a requested service:
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a subpoena, court order, APRA-related obligation under Indiana Code 5-14-3, or other valid legal process requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected website, email system, analytics service, or search partner can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
