Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered in a partner-powered search box is transmitted to the third party that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary web systems may record basic data when a page loads. That data 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 provided; and
- the date and time of a request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising. You can restrict cookies through browser settings, although blocking them can change how some features work.
Reasons We Use the Data
Information is processed for specific operational purposes.
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which Marion County resource pages visitors find useful.
- Detect faults, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Privacy Beyond Our Pages
Links may lead to the MCSO inmate tool, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, public-record portals, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not through a Marion County government system operated by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:
- search partners that process a query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law enforcement or another public authority responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, transmission method, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise breach-proof protection.
This Site Is for Adults
The site is intended for people age 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a minor. If you believe someone under 18 submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may:
- ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate personal information;
- ask that personal data be erased; and
- object to or opt out of certain processing.
These choices concern data held by this private site. Requests for an MCSO, court, police, IDOC, or other government record must go to that record’s custodian under its rules, including Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act where applicable.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal requirements change. An updated version becomes effective when it is posted here with its new effective date.
