Messages to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless the response requires a service provider or disclosure is required by law.

Policies on Linked Websites
Links may lead to Lafayette County offices, the sheriff and detention center, MDOC, courts, federal locators, notification services, or outside search tools. Public offices handle official records under their own rules, including the Mississippi Public Records Act, Miss. Code ยงยง25-61-1 through 25-61-19. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours, and is governed by their published choices and policies.

- Search partners that process a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads

Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information handled. No website, network, transmission method, or storage service can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that unauthorized access, loss, or a security incident will never occur.
