Technical Information Collected Automatically
Normal server, analytics, and advertising systems may record details about a page visit, including:
- The visitor’s IP address.
- 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.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how people use the site and may support advertising. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although blocking them can change how some features work.
Reasons We Use Data
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected outside provider.
- Understand which guides visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to the Greene County Sheriff, Greene County Jail resources, Illinois courts, the Illinois Department of Corrections, federal locators, news sources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy governs.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That tracking occurs through the partner’s technology, not a Greene County government system.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, data may be processed by:
- Search partners that receive submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand.
Security Practices
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, transmission, or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or misused.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, a person may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
- Opt out of certain uses or processing.
These rights concern data held by this private site. Requests for Greene County arrest, court, or jail records are instead governed by the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and must go to the agency that maintains the record.
Policy Revisions
We may revise this policy as the site or its services change. The updated version becomes effective when posted here with a revised effective date.
