Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. Lake County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Emails and Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to release records, Lake County Sheriff pages, IDOC and other government portals, and independent search services. Once you follow a link, that destination's privacy terms govern your activity.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and tailor advertisements. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as a record maintained by this site.
Limited Data Disclosures
We do not sell personal information. Data may be received by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic.
- Advertising networks serving content.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures
We use ordinary safeguards suited to a public website. No networked service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed through a breach.

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us and request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
