Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a sponsored search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms in its own system. The provider's privacy rules govern its receipt and use of a query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

How Data Is Used

- Measure which guides are useful
- Detect and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to Henry County Sheriff and court pages, IDOC and federal portals, release-record sources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy notice controls its practices. Review that notice before submitting personal data.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems and is governed by their own policies.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed or transmitted to limited recipients that support a stated function.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed secure. This notice does not promise that a breach or loss can never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by us, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Illinois public-record law, including the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, governs government records, not correction of information stored by this private site. Requests about an official Sheriff, court, or IDOC record must go to that agency.
Notice Updates
This privacy notice may change as practices or services change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
