Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its handling of the query.
Messages
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Automatic Technical Information
Standard web and analytics systems may record these details when a page loads:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block or delete them through browser settings, although some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the website and improve loading performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Understand which guides visitors find useful
- Detect and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Vigo County JailTracker, the sheriff's public-record portal under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, Indiana Department of Correction pages, MyCase, federal locators, news sources, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy terms apply.
Advertising companies may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted advertisements. That cross-site processing occurs on their platforms, not in a database maintained by this site.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless be available to:
- Search providers that must process a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring advertisements
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect data in our care. No website, network, or internet transmission can be promised to be fully secure, so we cannot guarantee protection against every breach.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and technical limitations, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete eligible personal data
- Stop certain forms of processing
These requests concern data controlled by this site. Government records held by the Vigo County Sheriff's Office, courts, or IDOC must be addressed to that record custodian.
Notice Revisions
We may revise this privacy notice as services or practices change. A revised version takes effect when posted here and will carry an updated effective date.
