Information You Enter
Search Queries
When a name, county, state, or other search term is typed into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own public-record database.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other message, the submitted contact details and message content may be kept long enough to review and reply. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when pages load or when a browser interacts with site features.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, remember basic settings, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure activity. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently after that choice.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Lehigh County inmate and jail-record pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To support advertising that may reflect general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to Lehigh County offices, Pennsylvania court and corrections resources, federal locators, VINE, RTKL information, CHRIA materials, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that other site's privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as a county or court record service operated by this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled through this site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof storage or transmission.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information, a parent or guardian may request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information this site maintains.
- Request correction of inaccurate contact information.
- Ask for deletion when continued retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.
Notice Updates
This Privacy Notice may be revised as site features, partner tools, or legal requirements change. Updates take effect when the revised notice is posted here with the current version of the text.
