Information You Submit
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms entered into a sponsored search box are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other contact message, the submitted information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law.

Outside Websites
The site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, IDOC resources, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, that outside site's privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. Those systems are controlled by the partner, not by this site.

- Advertising networks.
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information through informal messages.
