Information You Submit
A name, location, or other query entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those query terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its handling of the request.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal site operations can collect technical and usage information when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page or site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies may be used to understand site use and support features. A browser can block or delete cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports limited operating purposes.
- Run the site and improve its speed
- Send a search request to the selected provider
- Measure which pages are useful
- Diagnose errors and technical problems
- Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Outside Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to Rock Island County records, Sheriff and IDOC pages, Illinois government portals, federal locators, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy controls its data collection and use.
Some advertising providers may use their own technology to follow activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as a database maintained by this site.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be provided to a limited set of recipients when necessary.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Illinois public-record access, including requests under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, concerns government records. It does not turn private contact messages held here into Rock Island County jail records.
Security Measures
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information within our control. No website, connection, or storage system can be promised as breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal data that is not needed for a message.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask to exercise available rights.
- Request a copy of personal data held about them
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion of eligible information
- Opt out of processing where that right applies
These requests concern data controlled by this private site. Government release records must be addressed to the public agency that maintains them.
Notice Revisions
This privacy notice may be revised as practices, providers, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
