Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Searches
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search tool, that query goes to the third-party company operating the tool. Macoupin County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message beyond our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine logs and measurement tools may receive basic technical details whenever a page loads. These details help operate and diagnose the site.
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- The pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Browser Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising functions. Most browsers let you reject or remove cookies. Blocking them can cause some features or preferences to work differently.
Purposes for Using Data
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which pages and resources visitors use.
- Detect faults and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to the Macoupin County Sheriff’s Office, jail and booking resources, Illinois corrections pages, government portals, or third-party search services. After you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based advertising. That processing occurs under the partner’s controls and policies, not within this site’s own records.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- Search providers processing a query you submit.
- Analytics companies measuring site use.
- Advertising networks delivering or measuring ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No online service, network, or storage method can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, contact us so that the material can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held by us, you may:
- Ask for a copy of your personal information.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Ask that personal data be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
These requests concern information held by this site. Records maintained by Macoupin County, Illinois agencies, or a search partner must be addressed to that separate custodian.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as services or practices change. An updated version becomes effective when it is posted here with a new effective date.
