Information You Provide
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a sponsored search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. Tioga County Inmate Population does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor emails or otherwise sends a message about this site, the submitted contact details and message contents may be kept long enough to read, route, and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Technical Data Collected
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data when a page loads. That data helps identify errors, measure traffic, and understand how visitors use Tioga County custody and records pages.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, if one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure site use, support advertising, and help pages work as expected. Visitors can block or delete cookies in browser settings, but some features or ad preferences may behave differently after cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
Collected data is used for site operations and limited business purposes tied to this private Tioga County records resource.
- Keeping pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- Routing search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- Learning which jail, court, FOIL, and locator pages are most useful.
- Finding broken links, display problems, and other technical issues.
- Showing advertising that may reflect general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, New York court portals, DOCCS, VINELink, BOP, ICE, government records pages, and third-party search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and terms of that outside service control its own data practices.
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar tools on their own systems to measure ad performance or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is handled by the partner network, not by a Tioga County government office.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be made available to limited service providers or authorities when needed for the site to operate or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site data from improper access or misuse. No website, server, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed breach-proof, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive material that is not needed for a site-related message.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request deletion of that information.

Depending on location and applicable law, visitors may ask about personal data associated with them.
- Request a copy of data held by this site.
