Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, place, or other term into a search box, the query is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Luzerne County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet transmission, connected system, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. This notice does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.

Rights can depend on the governing law and the nature of the data. A request may require reasonable identity verification.
