Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. It is not disclosed outside our organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems automatically receive routine technical details when a visitor loads a page:
- Page-view dates, times, and duration
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The referring site, when available
- Pages viewed during the visit
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. Along with analytics services, they help us measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. A browser can reject cookies, though disabling them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a query to the selected outside search provider
- Finding and repairing performance or technical faults
- Learning which pages are useful and which need improvement
- Operating the site and maintaining reasonable load times
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Our content identifies official Wayne County and Pennsylvania channels, including local courts and police, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the PSP Megan's Law Public Website. Visitor data is not assembled into third-party criminal profiles or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern information submitted through those tools, including retention and sharing choices that we do not control. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Wayne County offices, Pennsylvania agencies, court portals, legal resources, or private search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms control. Check those terms before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to:
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
- Search providers that process a query submitted through their tool
- Advertising networks that serve ads on the pages
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for the information we collect. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied information, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, governs public requests to agencies, while CHRIA, 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91, controls criminal-history dissemination. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government record custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Seek deletion where the law permits it
- Object to certain forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A changed version will appear here with its new effective date, so visitors should review it from time to time.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
