Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Bureau County Recent Arrests receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. It also covers cookies, outside links, security, and choices available to visitors. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other detail entered into an embedded search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected Automatically

Routine technical information may be recorded when a page loads. It helps operate the site, understand traffic, and diagnose faults.

  • Your internet protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies may be used to measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove them, though some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports the ordinary operation of the service.

  • Maintain site performance and availability
  • Send search requests to the chosen outside provider
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Locate and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect user interests

Privacy on Linked Websites

Links may lead to the Bureau County Sheriff, jail and court resources, state corrections pages, booking information, government portals, or outside search tools. The destination's own privacy terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs through those partners, not through records stored by this site.


Who May Receive Information

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still be handled by service providers or disclosed when law requires it.

  • Search providers that process submitted queries
  • Analytics companies that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Our Security Practices

We use customary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, or storage system is immune from every threat, so we cannot promise that data will always remain secure.


Visitors Younger Than 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor has submitted personal data so that deletion can be considered.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the data, a visitor may make the following requests.

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of personal information
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as practices or requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
