Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When you type a name or location into an outside search tool shown on a page, the query is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and use of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or submit a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatically Collected Details
Routine technical information may be recorded when a page loads. This helps deliver pages, measure use, and diagnose faults. It can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- The date and time of a request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to understand traffic and remember basic site interactions. Most browsers let you reject or remove cookies. Blocking them may cause some search, advertising, or measurement features to work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports a limited set of site functions. We may use it to:
- Operate the site and keep page delivery responsive.
- Send a search request to the provider selected by the user.
- Learn which Morgan County record pages visitors find useful.
- Locate errors, security concerns, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links can lead to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, the jail locator, city police pages, Indiana courts, the Indiana Department of Correction, federal locators, news outlets, and independent search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy notice controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising companies may use their systems to measure activity across multiple websites and select ads based on inferred interests. That tracking is performed through their technology, not through a Morgan County government record system operated by us.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be provided to a limited group when needed for the services described in this notice:
- Search partners that process a query you submit.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information. No website, network, storage service, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, contact us and request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal data maintained by us.
- Stop or limit certain processing where that right applies.
These requests concern data controlled by this private site. Government records held by the sheriff, a court, a police department, or IDOC must be addressed with that official custodian.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
