Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, place, or other detail in a search box supplied by a third party, the query is sent to the provider that operates that tool. Northampton County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policies govern its receipt and use of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you email us or send a message through an available contact method, we may retain the message and contact details long enough to respond and maintain the conversation. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary site and analytics systems may receive technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version in use.
- Your device category and operating system.
- Pages visited and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of a request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support normal features. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you do, parts of the site or an outside service may work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the site's operation and helps us understand whether the material works as intended. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Send a submitted search to the correct partner service.
- Measure which pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors and repair technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Other Websites and Services
Links may lead to Northampton County records pages, corrections resources, Pennsylvania government portals, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and data practices apply. We do not control how an outside site collects or uses information.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, subject to their policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may still be disclosed or transmitted in these limited settings:
- Search partners that must process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use common administrative and technical practices intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, or accessed without permission.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, they may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to the law that applies to a request and any valid need to retain information, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate.
- Delete personal information in our possession.
- Stop certain processing where an opt-out right applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site, its service providers, or applicable requirements change. An updated version becomes effective when it is posted here with a new effective date.
