Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a sponsored search tool is sent to the outside company that operates it. That provider processes the terms and returns its results. We do not keep a separate log of names or locations entered in those tools.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor emails us, the message may be retained long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard server and analytics systems may collect technical facts about a visit, including:
- Device IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device class
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that help measure traffic, popular pages, and navigation patterns. Analytics providers may combine visits into performance reports. Browser controls can block or clear cookies, though doing so may alter how some site features work.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical or submitted information may be used for these limited purposes:
- Operating and securing the website
- Routing a search to the selected outside provider
- Measuring which pages visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising relevant to broad interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not compile, sell, or maintain files about a person's LaSalle County criminal history. The content identifies official channels, such as the Sheriff's Records Division, Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification, and Illinois State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports, and this resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
An outside company powers each sponsored search box. Its own privacy policy governs submitted terms, retention, and disclosure. Those practices are beyond our control, so visitors should review the provider's policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to LaSalle County offices, Illinois agencies, courts, legal resources, advertisers, and search providers. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's privacy terms apply. Some advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across sites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be available to:
- A search partner receiving a query
- Analytics providers measuring traffic
- Advertising networks serving site ads
- Government authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information under our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access can never be ruled out completely.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If information from a person under 18 is identified, it will be removed when reasonably possible.
Your Data Rights
Illinois residents may have remedies under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, 815 ILCS 505, and other applicable privacy or consumer-protection law. Subject to the law and the data actually held, a visitor may:
- Ask what personal information is retained
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Seek deletion of eligible information
- Object to certain processing where a right applies
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. The current version and its effective date will remain on this page.
Effective date: July 20, 2026
