Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or location into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or otherwise send a message about the site, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical data when pages load.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, measure page performance, and support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser, although some features may work differently after blocking them.

- To operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- To pass search requests to the correct outside search partner.

- To support advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to resources such as the Allegany County Sheriff's Office site at alleganyco.gov/departments/sheriffs-office, the sheriff OCV roster at alleganycountysheriff-ny.gov/inmateSearch, the county FOIL form at alleganyco.gov/foilrequest, courts, corrections agencies, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy notice controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites or serve interest-based ads. Their tracking and opt-out tools are managed by them, not by this site.
