Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, location, or other search detail into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Fayette County Inmate Population does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
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 the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.

Public Records and Outside Sites
Many Fayette County custody and court records are created by public agencies and may be requested under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, Indiana Code 5-14-3. This site may describe those public-record channels, but the agency privacy practices and APRA rules apply when you contact the government office or use its portal.
Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff pages, court systems, state or federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by the advertising partner, not by this site's local records pages.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited parties that help operate the site or satisfy legal obligations.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics services that measure traffic and usage.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information connected with the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so this notice does not promise complete security.
