Terms Entered in Search
A name or location entered in a search box goes to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Email and Contact Messages
Messages sent by email or contact form are retained as needed to reply. They are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Routine Technical Data
Standard web systems may record technical details on each page load:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or remove them, though some features may then behave differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
- Operate the site and improve speed
- Send queries to the selected search partner
- Measure which pages are useful
- Find and repair technical faults
- Display ads that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy Beyond This Domain
Links may lead to the Calhoun County Sheriff, Illinois VINE, IDOC, court portals, federal locators, news outlets, or outside search tools. The destination’s privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves.
Advertising partners may track activity across sites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not in a Calhoun County government record.
Limited Data Recipients
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- Search partners processing queries
- Analytics providers measuring use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Limits
Reasonable standard safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service is completely secure. We cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
The site is meant for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted data.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data held
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion where applicable
- Opt out of certain processing where the law allows
