Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses Massac County Recent Arrests, why it is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described below.

Information You Submit

A name, place, or other term entered into an outside search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the message and contact details as needed to answer. That material is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

A visit may produce routine technical records used to operate and assess the site.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies may help show how visitors use the pages. A browser can reject cookies, though some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports the day-to-day operation of this Massac County resource.

  • Maintain site speed and availability
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages readers use
  • Detect and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect user interests

Links and Advertising

Links may lead to jail information, sheriff and corrections pages, public portals, booking sources, or outside search services. After you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms control its collection and use of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner’s technology, not through a Massac County government system operated here.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be provided to:

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

Data Security

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be promised as completely secure, so we cannot guarantee 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. If a minor submitted information, use the Contact Us page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a user may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or opt out of certain processing. Illinois privacy and consumer protections may affect a request, but they do not alter the public-record duties of the government office that created an arrest or court record.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date.
