Information Visitors Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. McDuffie County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to the Site
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the submitted information may be kept long enough to review the request and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
