Information Provided Directly
Search queries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept to respond and administer the request. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most web services, the site and its service providers may receive technical information when a page is loaded.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when one is available
- Visit timestamps and similar diagnostic data
Cookies
Cookies and comparable technology may be used to understand site use and maintain basic functionality. Browser controls can block or clear cookies, although parts of a service may work differently after that choice.
How Data Is Used
Technical and message data may be used to operate and improve the service. This includes maintaining performance, directing a submitted search to the relevant provider, learning which pages are useful, investigating faults, and displaying advertising that may be based on interests.
External Websites
Links can take visitors to sheriff, corrections, court, municipal, state, federal, news, and outside search services. Examples include the Hunterdon Sheriff’s Office, the Division of Corrections, and the county OPRA page. Their privacy rules apply once a visitor leaves this site. Advertising or outside partners may collect activity across websites through their own systems; this site does not control those practices.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a product. It may be processed or disclosed to the following categories when needed for the stated purposes or when law requires it.
- Search partners handling a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Service providers supporting site operations
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive case, identity, or emergency information through a private reference site and should contact the responsible public office instead.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied personal information may request deletion through the ordinary contact route.
Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask about personal data held through a direct message or contact request.
- Request a copy of personal data held
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Ask for deletion where applicable
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where available
