Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when someone uses Henderson County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. It also covers outside search providers, cookies, data choices, and basic safeguards. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, location, or other detail entered in an outside search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Henderson County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms control its handling of the query.

Emails and Other Messages

If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • The internet protocol address used for the visit
  • The browser name and version
  • The device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • The date and time of each request

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising features. You can limit or block cookies in the browser. Some functions may work differently when that storage is disabled.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports normal operation and helps us understand whether the Henderson County release-record pages work as intended. Uses include:

  • Operating the site and maintaining acceptable speed
  • Sending a search request to the selected partner service
  • Understanding which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnosing errors, abuse, and technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links may lead to Henderson County records, sheriff or corrections pages, Illinois government portals, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and data practices apply.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That cross-site processing takes place under the partner's controls, not ours.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by the following parties for the stated operational or legal reason:

  • Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard administrative and technical practices suited to a public website. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


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 Contacts page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Correct personal information that is inaccurate
  • Delete personal data when the request applies
  • Stop certain processing where an opt-out right is available

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as the site, service providers, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.
