Information You Submit
Queries Sent to Search Providers
A name or location entered into a search box is passed to the third-party provider operating that tool. Johnston County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy applies to the query it receives.
Messages Sent to the Site
Email and contact-form messages are kept as needed to prepare a response. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Policies on Linked Services
