Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, place, or other lookup detail into a search tool on this site, that entry is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Orangeburg County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own inmate-record database.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the information in that message to review and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.

- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand site use and improve performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some site features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used

- To display advertising that may reflect general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to Orangeburg County pages, sheriff and detention resources, South Carolina court and corrections portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's policies, not this notice.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to limited service providers or authorities in these situations.
- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use ordinary administrative, technical, and operational safeguards for this type of website. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed without authorization.
