Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other detail is entered into a search tool on this site, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site 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 review it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support ordinary website functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Pocahontas County jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To identify broken links, loading issues, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's general interests.
External Websites
This site links to sheriff and jail pages, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa DOC resources, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the outside website's own privacy notice and terms control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is controlled by those partners, not by Pocahontas County Inmate Population.

- Search partners that handle submitted queries.
- Analytics providers used to measure site performance.
- Advertising networks used to support the site.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies if a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for this site, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure. We cannot promise that information will never be accessed, lost, interrupted, or misused.
