Information You Submit
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name, place, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that entry is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the site team unless disclosure is legally required.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical data when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages opened and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website or link, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic patterns, remember basic preferences, and measure how visitors use the site. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, functional, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Northumberland County custody and record pages are most useful.
- To diagnose broken pages, browser issues, and other technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be related to visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages on this site may link to Northumberland County offices, the sheriff page, the jail page, Pennsylvania UJS, PA DOC, PA SAVIN/VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search providers. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and provide targeted ads. That tracking occurs through those partners, not as a local inmate-record file kept by this site.

Security Practices
