Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool passes directly to the third-party company that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate site log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive routine technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Device type and operating system
- Browser type and version
- Internet Protocol address
- Time spent on a page
- A referring site, when supplied
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help aggregate traffic, identify well-used pages, and show where visits end. A browser can block cookies, though doing so may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search to the selected partner service
- Find and repair performance or technical problems
- Measure which pages are useful
- Operate and secure the website
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Lycoming County guidance points to official custodians such as local police agencies, the county courts, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Website. Visitor information is not assembled into a third-party criminal file or a consumer report. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy policies apply to material entered there, including their retention and sharing choices. We do not control those practices. Review the applicable provider policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Lycoming County offices, Pennsylvania agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms govern. Review them before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may track activity across websites for targeted advertising. Such tracking occurs through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Analytics vendors that measure site traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Search partners processing a query
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Standard safeguards are used for the data we collect. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from a person under 18. If such information is identified, a deletion request may be made.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with the law that applies to a visitor. Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101 et seq., governs access to public-agency records, while criminal-history dissemination is addressed in 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121. Neither law turns this private website into a government record custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask what personal information is held
- Seek deletion where the law permits it
- Opt out of eligible forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A replacement version will appear here with its new effective date.
