Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box goes to the third-party company that operates that tool. Grundy 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
If you email us or use a contact form, we keep the message and supplied details long enough to respond and manage the exchange. We do not share a contact message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal website and analytics systems may record basic technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The internet protocol address used for the request.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps for visits.
Cookie Controls
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some functions may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used to operate and understand the service. Typical uses include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Learning which Grundy County resource pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnosing errors, abuse, and performance problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to the Grundy County Sheriff's Office, Grundy County Jail resources, city police pages, Illinois Department of Corrections tools, federal locators, court services, and outside search providers. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. Their tracking occurs under their technology and policies, not as a Grundy County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Reasonable technical and operational safeguards are used for information under our control. No website, transmission, or internet-connected storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information we hold about them.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete information where a legal exception does not require retention.
- Opt out of certain processing where that choice applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as services, laws, or data practices change. An updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date when appropriate.
