Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is transmitted directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email message when necessary to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems receive certain technical details when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device that help measure how visitors move through the site, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers combine that traffic information for us. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We neither maintain nor sell a database of personal criminal records. The site identifies how to reach the Iroquois County Sheriff, Iroquois County Circuit Court, Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification, and Illinois Sex Offender Registry for records those agencies maintain. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that partner's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its retention and disclosure practices, so review its terms before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Iroquois County government, court portals, Illinois agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Illinois consumer-protection law, including the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, 815 ILCS 505, may provide additional rights depending on the circumstances. You may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices change. An updated version will appear here with a new effective date.
