Wayne County Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when you use this site, why it is used, and when service providers or public authorities may receive it. It also explains cookies, security limits, and available privacy choices. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

We retain email or contact-form messages as needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Routine Technical Information

Standard server, analytics, or advertising systems may collect basic technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring site, when available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, although some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.


Reasons Data Is Used

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links may lead to the Wayne County sheriff and jail, Illinois corrections, court portals, federal locators, news publishers, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls.

Advertising partners may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems rather than this site's own records.


Limited Data Recipients

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by the following parties for the stated purposes:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use ordinary safeguards suited to the information involved. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or loss will never occur.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so that a deletion request can be reviewed.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Request deletion where applicable.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where a legal right applies.
