Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor types a name, county, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Delaware County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If someone emails us or sends a contact message, we keep the information needed to read, route, and answer that message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, each page load may create technical data used for operations, security, analytics, and troubleshooting.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website or search page, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and how pages perform. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Delaware County jail and records pages are useful to visitors.
- To detect errors, broken pages, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on visitor interests or general activity patterns.
Outside Websites
Pages may link to sheriff rosters, Delaware County public-records portals, New York court or corrections resources, federal custody locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to understand activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as official Delaware County custody or court activity.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by the categories below when needed for site operation, search routing, advertising, analytics, or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use standard security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof.
