Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information McLean County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, and when another party may receive it. It also describes cookies, security limits, and user choices. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

We keep email or contact-form messages as needed to answer them. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

A page request can create routine technical records used to operate and assess the site. These may include:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring site, when available
  • Request dates and times

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can reject or delete them, though some site functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Maintain site operation and performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy on Linked Services

Links lead to official release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms apply.

Some advertising providers may track activity across multiple sites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by:

  • Search partners processing submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures and Limits

We use ordinary safeguards suited to an informational website. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than eighteen. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask for deletion where applicable
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where available

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as practices or requirements change. The revised text will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
