Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain a message sent to us for the purpose of responding. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems may collect routine technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Referring website, when available
- Device type and operating system
- Browser type and version
- The device's IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and outside analytics services help us measure traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. A browser can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search query to the selected outside provider
- Maintain site operation, speed, and availability
- Find and correct technical faults
- Measure which content visitors use
- Display 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. Our content identifies how Tioga County records can be requested from the Clerk, courts, prison, police agencies, Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not turned into a consumer report or a record about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices apply to information entered there. We do not control those rules, so users should review a provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Tioga County offices, Pennsylvania agencies, court portals, legal resources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Advertising networks that place material on our pages
- Analytics providers that measure performance and traffic
- Search providers that process a visitor's query
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under age 18. If we learn that such data was supplied, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary with the law that applies to a visitor. Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, governs access to government records, while CHRIA, 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91, governs state criminal-history dissemination and correction. Those laws do not convert this private site into a government record custodian. Subject to applicable privacy and consumer law, a visitor may:
- Object to certain forms of processing
- Request deletion where the law provides it
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
- Request access to personal information we hold
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with its updated date.
