Information You Submit
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or related search term into a search tool, that query may be sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Rensselaer County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, we may keep the information you provide long enough to review it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
