Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. Sherman County Inmate Population does not store 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 review it and respond. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless required by law.

- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and improve page performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.

Other Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Kansas correctional resources, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After 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 select ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's controls, not through official Sherman County systems.

- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information, but no website, server, or internet transmission can be guaranteed breach-proof.
