Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar search into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Custer County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or send a message about this site, we may keep the message long enough to review it and respond. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical details when pages load, including:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use pages such as the Custer County Jail guide, the sheriff records page references, and links to CDOC Offender Search. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or measurements may work differently.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Custer County inmate, court, and records pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, and other technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links Beyond This Site
This site links to official and outside resources, including the Custer County Sheriff's Office at custersheriff.colorado.gov, the sheriff's records and forms page, Colorado Judicial Branch dockets, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of that destination controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Custer County government office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by these categories of recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that support ad delivery and measurement.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small public information site, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Information sent online is always submitted at some level of risk.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information through this site, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.
