Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through this private Lackawanna County reference resource, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices and the policies of any outside service you choose to visit.

Information Submitted Directly

Search Requests

A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those submitted search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you email or send a contact message, the message and contact details may be retained to reply. They are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard systems may collect limited technical information when a page loads to operate, measure, and protect the service.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Access timestamps

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools help measure site use. You can block them in browser settings, although some features may work differently after they are blocked.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports the service and helps identify technical problems.

  • Operate and improve page performance
  • Route a search request to the selected partner service
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful

External Websites

Links may lead to official Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, court, corrections, federal, and third-party services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy practices govern your visit. Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.


Possible Recipients

Personal information is not sold as a product. It may nevertheless be processed by the parties needed to operate a selected service or comply with a legal duty.

  • Search partners receiving a submitted query
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. Transmission and storage therefore occur at the visitor's own risk.
