Search Terms
A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Union County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
We retain an email or contact message as needed to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Data

Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove them, though some features may then behave differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected information supports site operations and service delivery.
- Maintain speed and reliable page operation

- Measure which resources visitors use
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
External Sites and Illinois Records
Links may lead to Union and Pulaski release-record offices, sheriff and IDOC pages, government portals, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Illinois public-record access is governed in part by the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, but this privacy notice governs only this private site.
Some advertising providers may measure activity across multiple sites to select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not records hosted here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks delivering ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete personal data where required
- Opt out of certain processing where available

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. An updated version will appear here with a new effective date.
