White County Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you use the site, why it is used, and which service providers may receive it. By continuing to browse or use a search tool, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

We retain an email or contact message as needed to answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected

Ordinary web logs and analytics may collect these details when a page loads:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring site, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. You can block them in your browser, although some site features may then work differently.


Reasons We Use Data

  • Operate the site and maintain good performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links may lead to the White County sheriff or jail, IDOC, courts, government portals, news outlets, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy policy applies.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads. Their collection is governed by their policies.


When Data Is Shared

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process a query
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

We use customary safeguards for the information we handle. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted data so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete eligible information
  • Stop certain forms of processing
