Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
When you type a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. Review the partner’s own notice before submitting information.
Messages to the site
If you send an email or contact submission, we retain the message and the information supplied so that we can respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Information and Cookies
Like most websites, we and service providers may receive standard technical details when a page is loaded, including:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when available.
- Access dates and times.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support routine functions. You can limit or block cookies through browser settings, although some features may then behave differently.
How We Use Information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- Send a search request to the appropriate partner service when a visitor uses that tool.

External Sites and Advertising
This guide links to official sources such as the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, the Livingston County Jail context, courts, NYSDOCCS, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the receiving service’s privacy practices apply. The New York FOIL resources discussed here are governed by New York Public Officers Law Article 6, Sections 84 through 90, not by this privacy notice.
Advertising partners may collect or use activity across sites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their practices are controlled by their own policies.
Recipients of Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless be received by or disclosed to the following groups as part of normal operation or when legally required:
- Search partners that process a submitted search query.
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising networks.
- Law enforcement or a government body responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that a transmission or stored information will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided information, contact us so that we can consider its deletion.
