Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Luzerne County Released Inmates, how it is used, and when another party may receive it. It also explains cookies, outside links, security limits, and user choices. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

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.


Information Collected Automatically

Routine technical data may be recorded when a page loads. This helps the site operate and shows broad patterns of use.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support site features or advertising. Most browsers let you refuse or remove cookies. Blocking them may cause some functions to behave differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service
  • Understand which Luzerne County resources visitors find useful
  • Detect and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect user interests

Websites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to Luzerne County records pages, Pennsylvania corrections resources, federal locators, court portals, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the provider’s controls and policies, not as a database maintained by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by these parties when needed for the stated functions:

  • Search providers that process submitted queries
  • Analytics companies that measure site activity
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

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.


Visitors Must Be Adults

The site is intended for people age 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. If a person under 18 submitted information, contact us so a supported deletion request can be reviewed.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Ask that eligible personal data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where the right applies

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


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here and will carry an updated effective date.
