Information You Submit
Search terms
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a search tool, that query may be sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Baldwin County Released Inmates does not keep its own stored log of those search terms on this site.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it, respond, handle a request, and protect the site. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it or a valid legal order applies.

- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on those pages.
