Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates it. That company processes the query and supplies any result. We do not keep a local log of the terms submitted through those tools.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to review and answer it. Messages remain within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine technical details can be recorded when a visitor loads a page:
- Page-view timestamps and time spent on a page
- Device type, operating system, browser, and browser version
- The device's assigned IP address
- Pages viewed during the visit
- A referring site, when one is reported
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic patterns, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics services combine that usage data. Browser controls can block cookies, though doing so may change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and maintaining site performance
- Routing a search query to the selected partner
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Operating the website and keeping pages available
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal records is compiled, hosted, or sold here. The content identifies official Mercer County custodians, Pennsylvania State Police repository channels, courts, and the PSP Megan's Law registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a third-party record or consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies provide the search-box services. A partner's own privacy terms govern data entered there, including retention and disclosure practices that we do not control. Review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links to courts, government agencies, legal resources, and outside tools lead away from this site. The destination's policy applies once a visitor leaves, so it should be read before personal data is shared.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and technical performance
- Outside search services selected to process a submitted query
- Advertising networks that deliver ads on site pages
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used for collected data. No internet service can promise perfect protection, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted when a valid request is received.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights concerning personal data. Pennsylvania's 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91 separately controls criminal-history information, while the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law governs requests to covered public agencies. Neither law turns this private site into a Mercer County record custodian. Available visitor-data requests may include:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any new version will appear here with an updated effective date and will govern from that posted date.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
