Information You Submit
A name, location, or other query entered into an embedded search tool passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most sites, the service may record basic details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports routine site operations and service improvement. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which information visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors and security concerns
- Present advertising based on likely interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Gallatin County Sheriff, Saline County physical-custody resources, Illinois corrections and court portals, federal locators, or commercial search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy terms control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. We do not run those outside systems.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be received by:
- Search partners that process a query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet service, network, or storage method is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete personal data that is eligible for removal
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the service, law, or vendors change. A revised policy takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
