Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses Broome County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. Using the site means accepting the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

When a visitor types a name, location, or similar term into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not maintain its own local 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 review it and reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected Automatically

Like many websites, this site may receive technical information when pages load.

  • IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and keep features working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some functions may behave differently when cookies are disabled.


How the Information Is Used

  • To operate and maintain the site.
  • To send search requests to the appropriate search partner.
  • To understand which Broome County record pages visitors use most.
  • To diagnose errors, security issues, and performance problems.
  • To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing context.

Outside Websites and Partner Tools

This site links to sheriff, jail, court, New York FOIL, DOCCS, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve interest-based ads. That activity happens under the partner's policies, not under Broome County Inmate Population's control.


Who May Receive Information

Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by limited parties that help operate or protect the site.

  • Search providers that process submitted search queries.
  • Analytics vendors that measure page usage.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful process requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. This notice does not promise breach-proof storage or transmission.


Visitors Under 18

The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the request can be reviewed and the information deleted where appropriate.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal information this site holds about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion where retention is not legally required.
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised from time to time. Updates take effect when the revised notice is posted on this page with the current wording.
