Information You Send
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a search tool on this site, the query is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Alexander County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return details may be kept long enough to review and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law, subpoena, court order, or another valid legal demand.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads. This helps operate the site, measure performance, and spot errors.
- IP address or similar network information.
- Browser type, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, screen information, and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website or search source, if one is available.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, keep features working, and support advertising or analytics. Most browsers let users block or delete cookies. Some search, ad, or preference features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, readable, and technically stable.
- To send search requests to the correct third-party search partner.
- To learn which Alexander County inmate, jail, court, and facility pages are most useful.
- To find broken links, display problems, and other technical issues.
- To show advertising that may be based on broad interests or site activity.
Other Websites
This site links to public agencies and outside tools, including sheriff pages, Pulaski County Detention Center materials, Judici, Illinois FOIA resources, IDOC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and search partners. Once a visitor follows one of those links, that other website's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show ads across websites. That activity happens under their policies, not under the control of Alexander County Inmate Population.
