Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other detail entered into an embedded search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Macon County Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's policy applies to the information it receives.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the message and supplied contact details as needed to answer. We do not share the submission outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when available; and
- the date and time of a request.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising. A browser can reject or remove cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a requested search to the correct outside service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical faults.

Other Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to Macon County records, Sheriff and IDOC pages, other government portals, or independent search providers. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use of data.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not a record system operated by Macon County Released Inmates.

- advertising networks that deliver ads; and
- law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

We use standard practices intended to protect information within our control. No website, network, or storage system connected to the internet can be guaranteed breach-proof. This notice does not promise absolute security.
