Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other search detail into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other contact message, the message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when pages load. That information can include:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support basic functionality. A visitor can block cookies in the browser, but some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and responsive.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Grant County jail, court, roster, and locator pages are useful.
- To identify and correct technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to resources such as the Grant County Corrections page, the Jail Inmate Roster, Grant County public records and GovQA, District Court, Superior Court Clerk, Washington DOC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows one of those links, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity or serve interest-based ads across websites. Those practices happen through the partner's platform, not through official Grant County systems.

- Advertising networks used to support the site.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
