Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, place, or other query entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Rock Island County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own system. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect basic data when a page loads. That data can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring page or site, when supplied; and
- dates and timestamps associated with the visit.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising. Browser controls can reject or clear cookies, although some tools may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the ordinary operation of this reference. It may be used to:
- keep pages available and responsive;
- send search requests to the selected partner service;
- understand which Rock Island County resources are useful;
- diagnose errors, abuse, and security issues; and
- display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to the Rock Island County roster, Sheriff and city records pages, Illinois corrections and court resources, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy applies.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or select ads. Their tracking occurs under their policies, not this one.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided only as needed to the following recipients:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards appropriate for a public website. No internet service, transmission, or storage system can be promised as completely secure, so we cannot guarantee protection against every breach or unauthorized act.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These rights concern information held by this site. Requests about a Sheriff roster, court file, or Illinois public record must go to the agency that controls it, consistent with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised policy takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
