Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box goes directly to the independent provider that operates that tool. Polk County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
A message or email sent to the site may include a name, address, and any facts the sender chooses to provide. Messages are retained as needed to respond and are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when available;
- the date and time of each request.
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some page functions may then work differently.

Security Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is immune from every error, intrusion, or loss, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
