Information Provided by Visitors
A search query entered into a search widget may be sent to the third-party service that operates that tool so it can return results. The query, the date and time, and other information required to process the request may be handled by that provider under its own policy. Do not enter unnecessary sensitive information into a third-party search form.
If a visitor sends a message, the site may receive the name, email address, and the content supplied in that message. Messages should not include court orders, identity documents, medical information, or other sensitive material unless the visitor has independently determined that disclosure is appropriate.
Automatic Data and Cookies
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page is loaded. It can include an IP address, browser type and version, device and operating-system information, pages viewed, time spent on a page, referring site, and timestamps. Cookies or similar technologies may be used to understand site use and support advertising or analytics functions.
A browser can usually block or clear cookies through its settings. Some site features or partner tools may work differently if cookies are restricted. Blocking cookies does not change the separate policies of an agency, court, search provider, or linked website.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate and secure the site, improve page performance, understand which material visitors use, diagnose technical problems, respond to a message, and route a submitted search to the appropriate partner service. Advertising providers may use data on their own systems to deliver or measure advertising consistent with their policies and applicable law.
The site is a reference source, not an official record custodian. A search query does not become a request to the Schoharie County Sheriff, jail, court, DOCCS, or any linked public agency.
Linked Services
Pages may link to Sheriff, jail, court, corrections, records-request, news, and other outside sources. When a visitor follows an outbound link, that destination’s privacy terms and data practices control. The site does not control the availability, security, content, or tracking practices of another website.
Search partners, analytics providers, and advertising networks may receive information necessary to provide their service. Data may also be disclosed when required by a valid legal order or to protect the security and integrity of the site.
Security and Young Visitors
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security. Avoid sending sensitive records through an ordinary contact message. This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the contact route.
Privacy Choices and Updates
A visitor may ask what personal information is held, request correction of information that is inaccurate, request deletion where appropriate, or object to certain processing. The site may need to retain limited information for security, legal, or operational reasons. New York’s public-records rules, including Public Officers Law Article 6, govern agency records separately from this policy.
This notice may change as the site or its services change. The current version will be posted here. Continued use after an update is subject to the revised notice.
