Information You Send
Search Queries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Peoria County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may apply its own privacy policy, retention rules, and data practices after receiving the query.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us or send a contact message, the contents and contact details are kept so that a reply can be sent and the conversation can be handled. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is needed to comply with a legal requirement or valid order.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine server and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads. These details help keep the pages working and show how visitors use them:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring site, when one is supplied
- Request timestamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser storage may help measure visits, remember limited settings, or support analytics and advertising. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some page features may work differently when those files are blocked.
How Information Is Used
The information described above may be used for ordinary site operations and business needs, including:
- Keeping the pages available, stable, and responsive
- Sending search requests to the appropriate partner tool
- Understanding which pages and links are useful
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical problems
- Showing advertising that may match a visitor's interests
Links and Partner Services
The pages link to Peoria County jail and court portals, sheriff and police pages, the Illinois Department of Corrections, federal locators, local news, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves for another service, that service's privacy policy and terms control what happens to the visitor's data.
Advertising partners may use their own tracking tools to understand activity across different websites and to deliver interest-based ads. That activity takes place on the partner's systems, not under the control of the county offices mentioned on these pages.
Who May Receive Data
Peoria County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless reach the following parties when their services are involved or when the law requires disclosure:
- Search partners that process terms entered into their tools
- Analytics services that measure page use and performance
- Advertising networks and their service providers
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order or other lawful process
Security Practices
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information handled by the site. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however. These measures reduce risk but cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, altered, or exposed.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal data, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to ask that it be deleted, subject to any legal or recordkeeping need to retain it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the information involved and applicable law, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site
- Correct inaccurate contact or message information
- Request deletion of information that is no longer needed
- Opt out of certain processing, cookies, or interest-based advertising
Send a request through Contact Us. A request may need enough detail to identify the relevant message or account, and some requests may be limited by law or by the practices of a third-party provider.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised as the pages, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised practices apply going forward.
