Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Boone County Released Inmates, how that information is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. It also explains cookies, outside links, security, minors, and available privacy requests. By using the site, a visitor accepts the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Boone County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy practices govern its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

If a visitor sends an email or contact-form message, the submitted details are retained as needed to read and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard technical and usage details may be recorded when a page loads. This data helps operate and understand the service.

  • The internet protocol address used for the visit
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps connected with visits

Cookie Use

Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and use its features. Browser controls can reject or delete cookies. Blocking them may cause some functions or preferences to work differently.


Reasons We Use Information

Collected information is used only for operating and improving the service and its connected tools.

  • Keep pages available, reliable, and responsive
  • Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
  • Understand which content visitors find useful
  • Detect, diagnose, and correct technical problems
  • Present advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests

Links Beyond This Site

Pages may link to Boone County records, sheriff and corrections offices, Illinois government portals, and outside search providers. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy policy and practices apply. Boone County Released Inmates does not control those systems.

Some advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across multiple websites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's systems, not through data maintained by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be provided to parties that perform a necessary service or when the law requires disclosure.

  • Search partners that receive and process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure visits and performance
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Safeguarding Collected Information

Reasonable, standard practices are used to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, transmission method, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. This notice therefore does not promise breach-proof protection.


Visitors Younger Than 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent, guardian, or affected minor may use the contact route to report such a submission and request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the requester, a person may make the following requests concerning data held directly by Boone County Released Inmates.

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information held
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible information be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice applies

These requests do not control records held by Boone County, IDOC, courts, search partners, advertising providers, or another outside organization. Requests about those records must go to the relevant owner.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices, services, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. The current effective date is July 17, 2026.
