Information You Submit
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other entries typed into a sponsored search tool are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Pierce County Inmate Population does not host the Pierce County Jail roster, the WADOC locator, the BOP locator, or the ICE locator, and it 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 maintain ordinary business records. Those messages are not sold or shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data when a page loads. That data helps operate pages about Pierce County Jail, Puyallup City Jail, Remann Hall, WCCW, Northwest ICE Processing Center, and related lookup resources.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.

Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used for analytics, advertising, and basic site measurement. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some site features or ad preferences may work differently after cookies are limited.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, readable, and fast.
- To pass search requests to the appropriate partner service when a sponsored tool is used.
- To understand which Pierce County record topics are most useful to visitors.
- To detect broken pages, errors, security issues, or performance problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or page context.
Outside Websites and Official Portals
This site links to official and third-party resources, including the Pierce County Jail page, the Pierce County Public Records Request page, WADOC Incarcerated Search, BOP Inmate Locator, and ICE Online Detainee Locator. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads and show interest-based advertising across websites. Those activities happen on the partner's systems, not in a Pierce County government database.

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no website can promise absolute security for data transmitted online.
