Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider handles the query and delivers its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you send an email, we retain it as needed to respond. The message remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems automatically receive basic technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view timestamps
- Your device's assigned IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- The referring site, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure traffic, popular pages, and points where visits end. Analytics vendors combine this information into site-use reports. You may block cookies through your browser, although some features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing and correcting technical faults
- Operating the site and improving page speed
- Routing a search request to the provider that handles it
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Monroe County content identifies official sources such as the Clerk of Courts, police agencies, Monroe County Correctional Facility, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. Visitor data is not turned into a third-party criminal record or consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy rules govern any information submitted to a tool, including retention and disclosure choices. We do not control those practices. Review the provider's own policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Monroe County offices, Pennsylvania courts and agencies, legal resources, and outside search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read it before sharing personal information.
Some advertising companies may observe activity across websites to select ads. Their systems, rather than ours, conduct that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving site ads
- A government or law enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We apply standard safeguards to the data we handle. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that such data was submitted, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
You may ask about the personal data under our control. Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101 et seq., governs access to government records rather than data held by this private site. The state's Criminal History Record Information Act, including 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121, separately restricts dissemination of criminal history by covered agencies. Subject to applicable law, you can:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
- Seek deletion of personal data where the law permits it
- Object to certain forms of processing when applicable
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A new version becomes available here with a changed effective date, so review this page periodically for updates.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
