Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses this site, why it is used, and when it may reach another party. Continued use indicates acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

A query entered into a search box is sent to the third-party search provider that operates the tool. A message sent through a contact channel may contain the sender's name, email address, and any details voluntarily included. Do not submit sensitive personal information that is unnecessary to the question.


Technical Information Collected

Servers and service providers may automatically record an IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location, timestamps, and error or performance data. Cookies or similar technologies may remember preferences, measure traffic, support advertising, and help keep the site working.


How Information Is Used

Data may be used to deliver pages and searches, respond to messages, understand site use, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, improve content, measure advertising, and satisfy legal duties. It is not used to create an official Johnson County arrest, jail, or court record.


Websites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to the Johnson County Sheriff, Illinois courts, IDOC, VINELink, federal locators, or commercial tools. Those operators set their own privacy and cookie rules. Review them before sending a name, identifier, payment information, or other data.


Parties That May Receive Data

Information may be shared with search partners that process queries, hosting and analytics providers, advertising networks, and vendors that support site operation. It may also be disclosed to law enforcement or another authority when required by a valid legal order, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and site security. We do not promise that third parties apply identical practices.


Reasonable Security Measures

Administrative and technical safeguards are used on a best-effort basis, but no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. Users submit information at their own risk.


Visitors Under 18

This site is not intended for people under 18, and we do not knowingly seek personal information from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contact Us page.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law, a user may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information submitted directly to us, or object to certain processing. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some functions may then work differently. These rights do not authorize this private site to alter records held by Johnson County or Illinois agencies. Public-record access remains governed in part by the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal requirements change. The version posted here becomes effective when published, so visitors should check it periodically.
