Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Kandiyohi County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the submitted details may be kept long enough to read, respond, and maintain a record of the exchange. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
