Information Collected
Search queries entered into a sponsored search box or partner tool may pass to the third-party provider that powers that feature. Those providers may receive the search terms, selected filters, technical data, and other information needed to return results or process a paid search.
If a visitor sends a message through an available contact method, we may receive the name, email address, phone number, message text, and any other details the visitor chooses to include. The site may also collect automatic technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, time on page, and cookie identifiers.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tags, and advertising tools may be used to operate the site, remember basic settings, measure traffic, prevent abuse, improve page performance, and show or measure ads. Browser settings can often block or delete cookies, but some features may not work the same way after those settings change.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate the site, respond to messages, understand which pages are useful, protect against spam or misuse, maintain security, troubleshoot errors, support advertising, and connect visitors with search partners. Search information may also be used by the third-party provider according to that provider's own terms and privacy policy.
Illinois public-record access, including the Illinois Freedom of Information Act at 5 ILCS 140, applies to public bodies. It does not turn this private website into a government records office and does not make private site messages official FOIA requests.
Who May Receive Information
Information may be shared with search partners, advertising networks, analytics providers, hosting vendors, security vendors, email or message processors, professional advisers, and service providers that help operate the site. Information may also be disclosed if required by subpoena, court order, law-enforcement demand, legal process, or another legal obligation.
Outside Links
The site links to sheriff, jail, court, Illinois Department of Corrections, federal, immigration, VINELink, public-record, and third-party search resources. Those outside sites are controlled by their own operators. Their forms, cookies, payment systems, and privacy rules are not controlled by St. Clair County Inmate Population.
Security
Reasonable efforts are used to protect site data, but no website, server, search tool, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed secure. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal, medical, legal, financial, or emergency information through ordinary website messages.
Children and Minors
This site is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a minor provided personal information through this site, they may use the contact route listed on the Get in Touch page.
User Choices
Visitors may use browser controls to block cookies, clear stored data, or limit tracking. Depending on applicable law, a visitor may request access, correction, deletion, or limitation of personal information held by this private site. Some information may be retained when needed for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or ordinary business records.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Notice may be revised when site features, partners, laws, or operating practices change. Updated wording takes effect when posted. Continued use of the site after an update means the visitor accepts the revised notice.
