Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, city, state, or other lookup term is typed into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Benton County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain basic business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.
