Lancaster Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Lancaster County Released Inmates collects, how that information is used, and when limited data may be shared. Using the private site, its search boxes, or contact channels means accepting these practices. Government portals and outside providers apply their own privacy rules.

Information You Submit

Partner Searches

A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool goes to the outside provider that operates it. We do not store or log those query terms on our systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the search.

Messages

Emails and contact messages are kept as needed to reply and manage the exchange. We do not share them outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Visit Data

Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may record basic details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure use and support site functions. Browser controls can reject or remove them, though blocking cookies may change how some features work.


Reasons We Use Data

Collected data supports limited operational and measurement needs:

  • Keep the site available and responsive
  • Send queries to the chosen search partner
  • Learn which resources visitors use
  • Diagnose faults and improve security
  • Display advertising that may match interests

Outside Sites and Ads

Links lead to Lancaster County records, Pennsylvania corrections and courts, federal locators, and outside search tools. The destination’s privacy terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising partners may use their own identifiers to measure activity across sites and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:

  • Search partners processing a query
  • Analytics services measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Is Best Effort

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards protect data within our control. No internet service or storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise breach-proof transmission or storage.


Adults Only

The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may ask through the Contacts page for deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may:

  • Ask for a copy of data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible data be erased
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Notice Revisions

We may change this notice as services or legal duties change. A revised policy takes effect when posted here with a new effective date.
