Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or related detail into a search box supplied by a third-party search provider, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. DuPage County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and keep reasonable records of the exchange. We do not share message contents outside our organization unless the law requires it.

Other Websites and Public-Records Portals
This site links to the DuPage County Sheriff's Office, JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud, the DuPage Circuit Clerk, Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), VINELink, BOP, ICE, and other public or private resources.

Advertising networks and search partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or tailor ads. Those practices occur through their platforms, not through a visitor database controlled by this site.

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or similar legal demand requires a response.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical practices for a public information website. No internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof or error-free, so sensitive information should not be sent unless you accept that risk.
