Information You Submit
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party company operating that tool. Madison County Recent Arrests does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Forms
Email and contact-form messages may be retained long enough to answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Visit Data
Standard server and analytics records may collect these details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring site, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can block cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
Reasons for Using Data
Collected information supports ordinary site operation and measurement.
- Maintain performance and availability
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Understand which pages visitors use
- Detect and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Privacy Beyond This Domain
Links may lead to sheriff, court, corrections, government, news, or independent search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites to tailor ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as a booking-record function of this site.
When Information Is Shared
Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by these limited recipients:
- Search partners processing a query
- Analytics providers measuring use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Common technical and administrative safeguards are used. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so the site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a user may ask to exercise these rights:
- Receive a copy of personal data held
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of eligible information
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
