Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other detail is entered into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the search. Stark County Inmate Population does not store or maintain those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, or a similar legal process.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical data when pages load. That data helps diagnose errors, measure traffic, prevent abuse, and understand how public record pages are used.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Dates and times of visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure or deliver ads. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or measurements may work differently if cookies are turned off.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the outside provider that handles a selected tool.
- To learn which Stark County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- To identify and fix technical problems or misuse.
- To display ads or sponsored results that may relate to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
Links may lead to the Stark County Sheriff's Office, County Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Judici, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois VINE, BOP, ICE, statutes such as Illinois FOIA at 5 ILCS 140, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad measurement or interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Stark County government office or the county jail.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a stand-alone list. It may still be handled by the parties needed to operate this site and respond to legal duties.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure sponsored content.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so this notice does not promise absolute security or uninterrupted protection against every risk.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact can be made so the information can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.
Your Data Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by this site.
- Request correction of inaccurate information provided directly to this site.
