Information You Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, county, or other search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Putnam County Inmate Population does not keep a local log of those search terms on its own server.
Messages to Us
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond when appropriate, and maintain basic correspondence records. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.

- Referring website, when one is supplied.
- 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 features. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site or partner tools may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used

Outside Websites
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, court resources, Indiana Department of Correction pages, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy notice, terms, and data practices control.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show targeted ads across different websites. Their tracking runs on their platforms, not as a custody record held by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data as an inmate record product. Data may still be received or processed by these categories of parties when they support the site or when law requires it.
- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect the information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no transmission method is perfectly secure.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided information, contact us so the material can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Privacy rights can vary by state and by the type of data involved. Official jail and court records are controlled by the public offices that hold them and may also be governed by Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, Indiana Code 5-14-3.
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct information you provided to us directly.
- Ask us to delete eligible data that we are not required to keep.
- Ask to opt out of certain processing where the law gives that right.
