Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what Champaign County Inmate Population may collect, how that information is used, when it may be shared, and what choices visitors have. Using this site means accepting the practices described here.

Information Visitors Provide

Search Terms

When a visitor types a name, county, or other search detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Champaign County Inmate Population does not store or maintain those search terms on its own servers.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or other message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and keep a basic correspondence record. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when pages load or when a visitor moves through the site.

  • IP address used to reach the site.
  • Browser name, browser version, and related settings.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website, if the browser provides one.
  • Date and time of visits.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how people use the site and to support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • Keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
  • Send search requests to the appropriate partner service when a visitor uses a partner tool.
  • Understand which Champaign County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
  • Find technical problems, broken links, or performance issues.
  • Display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.

Links Away From This Site

Pages may link to the Champaign County Sheriff's Office, the Sheriff's Tyler jail records portal, daily public documents, the Circuit Clerk, IDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site apply.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad activity or show targeted ads across websites. Those tracking tools are controlled by the advertising partner, not by Champaign County Inmate Population.


Who May Receive Information

Personal information is not sold by Champaign County Inmate Population. It may be handled by limited parties that help operate the site or respond to legal requirements.

  • Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
  • Analytics providers that help measure page performance and usage.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security Practices

Reasonable security practices are used for the site, but no internet-connected system can be promised to be fully secure. Champaign County Inmate Population cannot guarantee that data sent online will be free from every security risk.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.


Your Data Choices

Illinois public arrest and custody records may be available through official agencies under laws such as the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. Those public records are controlled by the agency or court that keeps them, not by this site. For data held by Champaign County Inmate Population, a visitor may request the following where applicable:

  • A copy of personal information retained by the site.
  • Correction of inaccurate information held by the site.
  • Deletion of information when retention is not legally or operationally required.
  • Opt-out from certain processing where an opt-out right applies.

Notice Updates

This Privacy Notice may be revised from time to time. Updates take effect when posted on this page, and the posted version controls future use of the site.
