Information Provided Directly
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. Franklin County Inmate Population does not maintain its own official jail-record database and does not store those search terms as government records.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.

- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use, support ads, and keep the site working correctly. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently after cookies are blocked.

Outside Websites
Franklin County Inmate Population links to sheriff pages, WVRJ JailTracker, Virginia court systems, VADOC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and other outside resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure or personalize ads across websites. That activity occurs on their systems, not as an official Franklin County record function.
