Information You Send
Search Terms
A name, place, or other text entered into a search widget is passed to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Edgar County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own end. Once submitted, the provider's privacy practices govern its handling of the query.
Messages and Contact Requests
Emails and other messages sent to the site are retained as needed to read the request, respond, and keep a useful record of the exchange. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a page loads, ordinary server and analytics systems may record technical details needed to deliver and measure the service. The information can include:
- the visitor's IP address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and the time spent on them;
- the referring site, when one is supplied; and
- request timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar storage may help show how visitors use the pages and keep some features working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. A blocked cookie may cause a feature to behave differently or stop working.
How the Information Is Used
The information described above supports ordinary site operations. It may be used to:
- keep Edgar County Busted Mugshots available and responsive;
- send search requests to the partner service selected for that tool;
- see which pages are useful to visitors;
- diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems; and
- display advertising that may reflect browsing interests.
Links and Outside Services
Pages may link to the Edgar County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Jeff D. Wood, and resources for Edgar County Jail, police and court offices, the Illinois Department of Corrections, the Judici case search, federal locators, government portals, local reporting, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice and terms govern that visit. Edgar County Busted Mugshots does not control those systems.
Some advertising partners may also measure activity across different sites to deliver interest-based ads. That tracking takes place through the partners' systems, not through a promise that this site can see or control their records.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by Edgar County Busted Mugshots. Depending on how a visitor uses the pages, information may be available to:
- search partners that receive a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure page use;
- advertising networks and their service providers; or
- law-enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Approach
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for the information handled directly by the site. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, however, and no promise can be made that data will never be accessed, lost, or exposed through a breach.
Adults Only
These pages are intended for adults. Edgar County Busted Mugshots does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a visitor may ask about personal information handled directly by the site. Available requests include:
- a copy of information held about the requester;
- correction of inaccurate information;
- deletion of information that the site is not required to keep; and
- an opt-out from certain uses or processing.
Use the Contacts page to submit a request. Search terms sent to a third-party provider must be addressed with that provider because those queries are not stored on this end.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised when the site's services, partners, or legal duties change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the posted notice applies to later visits.
