Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, county, state, or other search detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider powering the tool. St. Clair County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site may receive basic technical data when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages opened and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic settings, support analytics, and help advertising systems work. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected through the page.
- To understand which St. Clair County pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, page errors, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Outside Websites and Tools
Pages may link to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, St. Clair County Jail information, Missouri Case.net, VINELink, MODOC Offender Search, BOP, ICE ODLS, and third-party research tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy and terms control its handling of data.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ad performance or show interest-based ads across websites. That activity occurs on their systems, not as an official St. Clair County government function.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone customer list. It may be shared with limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for the systems under this site's control. No website, email system, analytics tool, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof.
