Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected while you use this Fountain County records guide, why it is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other query entered into an outside search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.

If you email us or send a contact message, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless law requires it.


Automatic Technical Data

Normal web operations may record an IP address, browser and version, device type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring site, and timestamps. Cookies help measure site use. You may block cookies in your browser, although some functions may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain performance.
  • Send a search request to the selected partner service.
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful.
  • Diagnose errors and security problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Other Sites and Advertising

Links lead to the Fountain County Sheriff's Office, Fountain County Jail resources, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, federal locators, local news, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based advertising.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by search partners processing a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government authorities responding to a valid legal order.


Reasonable Security Measures

We use customary safeguards appropriate for a website, but no internet transmission or connected system is completely secure. We cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may ask for a copy of personal information we hold, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Indiana public records held by government agencies are governed separately by the Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3; this private site does not control those records. Send requests through our Contact Us page.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as site practices change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with its revised effective date.
