Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, state, or other search detail is entered into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, route it, and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be collected when pages load, including details used for security, analytics, advertising, and troubleshooting.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand site use, support advertising, and maintain basic functionality. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or partner tools may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Bartholomew County jail, IDOC, BOP, ICE, and court-record pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to the Bartholomew County Sheriff's Office, JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, Indiana VINE/SAVIN, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits and serve interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Bartholomew County government office.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone customer list. It may be processed or received by the following parties when needed for the uses described here:
- Search partners that operate sponsored lookup tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks and related service providers.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal demand requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled through the site. No website, server, email system, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure, so no promise is made that data will be immune from every unauthorized access or technical failure.
