Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a name, location, or similar term is typed into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.

- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.

Links Beyond This Site
This site links to official and outside resources, including the Seneca County Sheriff's Office, the Records Division and FOIL form, New York DOCCS, WebCrims, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by local sheriff, jail, or court offices.
