Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, or other search detail into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Riverside County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
