Information You Submit
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name or location into a search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not retain or create a separate log of those search words on its own systems. The provider's policies govern information supplied within its service.
Messages
If you email us or send a message, we may keep the information needed to read, respond to, and maintain that exchange. We do not disclose message content outside our organization unless a lawful requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most web services, the site receives limited technical data when a browser requests a page. This information helps operate the service, diagnose failures, and understand general use patterns.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time of the request.
Cookie Controls
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, though some features may function differently after that choice.
How Information Is Used
We use submitted and technical information for operational purposes, not to create official jail, court, or criminal-history records.
- Operate and improve site performance.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.
- Understand which reference pages are useful.
- Identify, investigate, and correct technical problems.
- Support advertising that may reflect general interests.
Links and Advertising Partners
References may lead to official Allegheny County Jail, sheriff, court, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, or other government resources, as well as outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and practices control information collected there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. Those practices occur under the partner's policies rather than this site's systems.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be shared when needed for the service or when required by law.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that report aggregate site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, and this notice does not promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Information Requests
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask about information we hold directly. Requests may include the following:
- A copy of personal information held about you.
- Correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Deletion of personal information where applicable.
- Withdrawal from certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site or its services change. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.
