Information Sent Directly
Search Terms
A name, location, or other text entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Ogle County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own servers through the page.
Messages
An email or contact submission is kept long enough to read, respond, and maintain a basic correspondence record. It is not shared outside the operating organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to address a legal or security issue.
Technical Data from a Visit
Like most internet services, the hosting and analytics systems may receive routine technical details when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring page, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the pages, preserve a setting, or support a partner feature. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some functions may not behave the same way when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary operation and maintenance, including:
- Keeping the pages available and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the provider that supplies the search box.
- Understanding which public-record pages are useful.
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Showing advertising that may be relevant to a visitor.
Links and Outside Providers
The pages link to the Ogle County Sheriff, Ogle County Jail, courts, Illinois DOC, city police, federal locators, archives, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination’s privacy notice, terms, cookies, and data practices govern.
Advertising or search partners may use their own tools to measure activity across sites and deliver interest-based advertising. Those practices occur on the partner’s systems, not under this notice’s direct control.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by the operator. It may nevertheless be received by the following parties when needed for the listed function:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure page use.
- Advertising networks and their service providers.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order or other lawful demand.
Security Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for the systems under the operator’s control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so no promise is made that data will never be accessed, lost, or exposed through an event outside reasonable control.
Visitors Under 18
The pages are intended for adults and are not directed to children. The operator does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, a parent or guardian may request review and deletion through Contact Us.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and a reasonable identity check, a person may ask about information held by the operator.
- Request a copy of data held about the requester.
- Ask that an inaccurate item be corrected.
- Request deletion where the operator has a legal and practical duty to comply.
- Ask to opt out of certain processing, cookies, or partner features.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised when services, law, or data practices change. The new wording takes effect when posted here, with an updated effective date when one is added. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
