Information You Provide
Search Queries
A name, location, or other search term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own jail or court database.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message details are kept as needed to read, route, and answer it. They are not shared outside the organization except when a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Automatic Data
Standard technical data may be collected when pages load.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring page or site, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use, support analytics, and help advertising systems work. Browser settings can block cookies, though some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages available and working at a reasonable speed.
- Send search requests to the correct partner service.
- Learn which record pages are useful.
- Find technical errors and security issues.
- Display advertising that may be based on user interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, corrections pages, government forms, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that service's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or show targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by an official Oneida County agency.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be shared with service providers or authorities in limited situations.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected site can be promised breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive details that are not needed for a basic message.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Data Rights
