Information Visitors Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or related detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Cherokee County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply address may be kept long enough to respond and handle the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site receives basic technical information when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, if one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, improve page performance, and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently after blocking them.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the Cherokee County pages available, secure, and reasonably fast.
- Route search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which jail, court, and facility pages visitors use most.
- Find broken links, page errors, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Other Websites and Public Records
The site links to Cherokee County offices, jail and sheriff pages, Oklahoma court portals, Oklahoma Department of Corrections resources, VINELink, federal locators, tribal resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control that activity.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Cherokee County Inmate Population as an official records office.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone mailing list. It may be available to limited parties that help operate or protect the site.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for website operations, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof or error-free. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for their message.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.
Privacy Choices

Oklahoma's Open Records Act, including 51 O.S. Sections 24A.1-24A.32 and 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, applies to government records held by public bodies. It does not make this private website the custodian of Cherokee County jail, court, sheriff, or detention records.
Policy Changes
This privacy policy may be revised from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with the new effective text.
