Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when someone uses Westmoreland County Released Inmates, why it is used, and when it may reach another organization. By using the site, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information You Submit

Search entries

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy applies to its handling of the query.

Messages

An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to answer and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads so the service can function and performance can be measured.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies may help measure site use and remember technical choices. A browser can block or delete them, though some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports ordinary site operations.

  • Maintain speed and availability
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which resources visitors use
  • Identify and correct technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to Westmoreland County Prison, the county's Open Records Request page, Adult Probation, Pennsylvania corrections, courts, federal locators, and third-party search sites. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its data practices.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. This site does not control that outside tracking.


When Data May Be Shared

Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by a search partner that receives a query, an analytics provider, an advertising network, or a government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order.


Security Is Best Effort

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed free from every breach or unauthorized access.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Information Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser controls can also limit cookies.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or services change. A new version takes effect when it is posted with its updated effective information.
