York Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses York County Released Inmates, how that information supports the service, and when it may reach another party. It also covers cookies, security, outside links, and user choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Choose to Send

Queries in a Search Box

A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. York County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact submission may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the exchange. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data From Visits

Ordinary web systems can record limited technical details when a page loads. Those details may include:

  • The device's Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps for requests

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help show how visitors use the pages and support site functions. A browser can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently afterward.


Reasons We Use Data

Collected information is used only for operating, understanding, and supporting the site and its services.

  • Maintain reliable and responsive pages
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which content visitors find useful
  • Detect and repair performance or security problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links may lead to release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. That cross-site tracking occurs under the advertising partner's technology and policy, not this site's own records.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still reach a limited service provider or authority for these functions:

  • A search partner processing the query submitted to its tool
  • An analytics service measuring use and performance
  • An advertising network delivering or measuring ads
  • Law enforcement or a government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security, Not Certainty

We use standard practices intended to protect the information under our control. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, however, so this policy does not guarantee that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and ask that it be deleted.


Choices About Personal Data

Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, a person may contact us to exercise these choices:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we retain
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that retained personal data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing when that right applies

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
