Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Norfolk County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
An email or contact-form message may be retained so the site can respond. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
