Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar lookup detail into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or message about the site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, this site and its service providers may receive routine technical data when pages load.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps connected to visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use pages, including references to official resources such as the Sangamon County inmate roster, IDOC inmate search, and Illinois VINELink. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some site features or partner tools may work differently.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To pass search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Sangamon County record pages visitors find useful.
- To locate and fix technical problems.

Outside Websites
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court-record portals, state and federal locators, and third-party search providers. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls its handling of your information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking occurs through their platforms, not through records hosted by this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup terms.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that support display ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for the site, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be breach-proof, error-free, or completely secure.
