Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When a visitor enters a name, place, or other detail in a search tool, that query is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Sangamon County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may process the query under its separate privacy terms.
Emails and Contact Messages
Information included in an email or contact submission is retained as needed to read the message and prepare a response. A message may include the sender's name, email address, and any details the sender chooses to provide. We do not disclose that material outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record limited technical information when a page loads. This information supports site operation and helps identify performance or access problems. Depending on the service involved, the data may include:
- The internet protocol address used for the request
- The browser name and version
- The device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies and similar technologies may help measure how visitors move through the site and which pages are useful. Most browsers allow users to delete or block cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may cause some search, analytics, preference, or advertising features to work differently.
Reasons Information Is Used
Collected information is used only for operational, measurement, communication, search-routing, and advertising purposes connected with the site. These purposes include:
- Operating the site and maintaining reasonable load times
- Sending a search request to the applicable partner service
- Understanding which pages visitors find useful
- Detecting, diagnosing, and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
Privacy Beyond This Domain
Sangamon County Recent Arrests links to resources such as the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office roster, jail and corrections pages, the Illinois Department of Corrections, court and government portals, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply. We do not control how an outside site collects, retains, or uses information.
Some advertising partners may use cookies or related identifiers on their own systems to understand activity across multiple websites and provide interest-based ads. Any such tracking is performed through the partner's technology and is governed by that partner's terms, not by this notice alone.
Limited Data Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. Information may still be processed or disclosed when needed to operate site features, measure use, provide advertising, or comply with binding legal process. Potential recipients are limited to:
- Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure visits and site performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical practices are used to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. Even careful safeguards have limits. No website, internet transmission, or connected storage system can be promised as fully secure or immune from a breach.
Use Is Limited to Adults
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may contact us and ask that the material be reviewed and deleted.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and the limits of records we actually hold, a user may make the following requests concerning personal information:
- Ask for a copy of personal data maintained by us
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask for eligible personal data to be erased
- Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available
These privacy requests concern data handled by this private site. They do not amend an official Sangamon County arrest, jail, court, or Illinois corrections record. Government access to public records is governed separately, including by the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised when site practices, service providers, or legal obligations change. An updated version will be posted on this page and will identify a new effective date so visitors can review the current terms.
