Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to read it and respond. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers can receive routine technical information about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- IP address assigned to the device
- Visited pages and approximate time on them
- A referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic information, such as popular pages and common exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, though a blocked cookie may change how part of the website functions.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a query to the selected search provider
- Maintaining reliable and prompt page delivery
- Diagnosing and correcting technical faults
- Learning which resources visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, retain, or sell a personal criminal-record database. The material here identifies how Wyoming County records can be requested from courts, the sheriff, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, and the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not compiled into a third-party record or consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern submitted data, retention, and sharing. Because those practices are outside our control, review the provider's policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to Wyoming County offices, New York courts and agencies, legal resources, or search providers. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before sharing personal information.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for tailored advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- A search provider processing a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving page ads
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used for data in our care. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Data known to have come from a minor will be removed when identified.
Your Data Rights
Applicable New York and federal law may provide rights concerning personal data. Subject to those laws, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information on file
- Ask that inaccurate personal data be corrected
- Seek deletion where the law permits it
- Object to eligible forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
