Information You Submit
Search Entries
When a name, place, or other search term is entered into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the details in that message may be kept long enough to review and reply. Those messages are not shared outside the site operation unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads. That data helps diagnose errors, understand traffic, and keep the site working.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring page or website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure site use and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently after that change.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the provider that handles the selected tool.
- To see which Indiana County jail, court, and locator pages readers use most.
- To find broken links, display problems, and other technical issues.
- To show ads that may be more relevant to a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to public agencies and third-party tools, including Indiana County pages, Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law and CHRIA-related resources, court portals, correctional locators, and search partners. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a county, jail, court, or corrections agency.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a list. It may be available to limited parties when needed to run the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that support ad delivery.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this site. No website, server, email account, or internet-connected system can be promised as fully secure or breach proof.
Visitors Under 18
