Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or other search detail into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms. Official resources such as the Cass County Jail page at in.gov/counties/cass/departments/county-jail/, the Cass public-information page at in.gov/counties/cass/resources/public-information-request/, and Indiana MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase/ have their own privacy and access rules.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and handle the issue you raised. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and support normal website functions. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features or measurements may work differently after that.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service when you use a search feature.
- To understand which Cass County jail, court, IDOC, VINELink, BOP, or ICE pages visitors find useful.
- To detect broken links, errors, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
External Websites
This site links to jail, sheriff, court, IDOC, BOP, ICE, Indiana SAVIN/VINELink, and public-records resources, including sites governed by Indiana public-records laws such as APRA, IC 5-14-3. Once you leave this site, the destination website's privacy policy and terms control your use of that service.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under their policies, not this notice alone.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may still be handled by limited outside parties when needed for the site to function or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics services that measure traffic and usage patterns.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure or immune from unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
Your Choices
