Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
An email or contact submission may be retained as needed to answer it. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal server, analytics, and advertising systems may receive an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, referring page, pages viewed, date and time, and approximate location derived from an IP address. Cookies or similar technology may remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent abuse, and support advertising. Browser controls can reject cookies, though some functions may work less well.
How Data Is Used
Information may be used to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, understand traffic, improve content, prevent misuse, and display or measure advertising. It is not sold as a Macoupin County inmate-record database because this site does not host official custody records.
Outside Links and Sharing
Links lead to the Macoupin County Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, IDOC, VINE, federal systems, and other independent services. Their privacy rules control data submitted there. Limited information may be available to search partners, hosting and analytics providers, advertising networks, contractors supporting site operations, or law enforcement acting under a valid legal order. Each recipient receives only what is reasonably needed for its role.
Security and Retention
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed secure. Information is kept only as long as needed for operations, dispute resolution, legal duties, and security.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. Personal information from a child is not knowingly collected. A parent or guardian who believes a child supplied information may request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information held directly by the site, or object to certain processing. Requests can be made through Contact Us. Identity may need to be verified. These rights do not control records held by Macoupin County, Illinois agencies, or third-party search providers.
Notice Changes
This notice may be revised when services, technology, or legal duties change. The posted version governs use after an update, so visitors should review it periodically.
