Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other detail is typed into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Hampton County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information during a visit so pages can load, errors can be diagnosed, and general usage can be measured.
- IP address connected with the visit.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when the browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps for requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- Operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- Send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Understand which Hampton County jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
- Identify broken links, errors, abuse, or technical problems.
- Support advertising that may be more relevant to a visitor's interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to Hampton County offices, South Carolina court and corrections portals, VINE, BOP or ICE locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's own privacy policy and terms apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize browsers across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking is handled through their platforms, not through official Hampton County records systems.
