Information You Submit

When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Paulding County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the details you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the message. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.
