Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other detail entered in an on-page search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Crawford County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s handling of a query is governed by its own privacy terms.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email or submit a contact message, the information in that message is retained as needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary technical details may be recorded when a page loads. This information helps operate the site and understand broad usage patterns. It can include:
- The visitor’s Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time stamps for the visit.
Cookie Use
Cookies and similar technologies may help show how visitors move through the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies. Blocking them may cause some functions or preferences to work differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed.
- Send a search request to the selected outside search provider.
- Learn which pages and topics visitors find useful.
- Identify errors, security concerns, and other technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Websites Reached Through Links
Links may lead to the Crawford County Sheriff, Illinois Department of Corrections, courts, release-record resources, federal locators, and private search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site tracking takes place through the provider’s technology, not through a record maintained by Crawford County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may still be transmitted or disclosed to the limited recipients needed for the services described here:
- Search providers that process a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Safeguards and Their Limits
Reasonable, commonly used security practices are applied to information under our control. No website, network, transmission method, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed fully secure. This notice therefore does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data held about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
- Opt out of certain processing when that right applies.
Some requests may require enough information to verify identity and locate the relevant data. Legal duties or valid retention needs may limit a request.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.
