Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical information when a page loads, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring site, when one exists
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and our analytics services help combine traffic data, show which pages are useful, and reveal where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, though doing so may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search request to the selected partner
- Maintain site speed and availability
- Find and repair technical faults
- Measure which pages help visitors
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, combine, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how Livingston County records can be requested from the Sheriff, courts, New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, and New York State Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal histories.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern data entered there, including retention and sharing decisions beyond our control. Read the applicable partner policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Livingston County Sheriff, New York courts, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms control. Review them before disclosing personal information.
Some advertising services may track activity across websites for targeted ads. That processing occurs on the advertising provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Advertising networks serving material on our pages
- Analytics providers measuring site traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query you choose to run
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for information in our control. No internet system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor submitted information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may differ by residence and applicable New York law. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs access to government agency records and does not turn this private website into a public records office. Subject to the law that applies, you may:
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
- Request deletion of information we control
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal data
- Request a copy of personal information we hold
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as practices or legal duties change. The replacement will appear here with an updated effective date.
