Privacy Notice

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name or location entered in a search box passes to the independent provider that operates it. This site does not store or log those terms on its own systems.

Messages

Email or contact-form messages are retained as needed to reply. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

Page visits may produce an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, pages viewed, time on pages, referring site, and timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies help measure site use. Browser settings can block them, although some functions may then behave differently.


How Data Is Used

Data supports site operation and speed, routes searches to partner services, identifies useful pages, fixes technical problems, and may support interest-based advertising.


Other Websites and Advertising

Links lead to Carroll County offices, Illinois corrections, federal locators, release records, and outside search tools. Their own privacy policies apply after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may track activity across sites on their systems for targeted ads.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Search partners may receive queries; analytics providers receive usage measures; ad networks receive advertising data; and law enforcement or government bodies may receive information under a valid legal order.


Security Practices

Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof or fully secure.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from a person under 18. Use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted data.


Your Data Choices

A visitor may ask for a copy of held personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure where applicable, or an opt-out from certain processing.
