Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its own response. Greene County Criminal History does not retain or log those search terms on its servers.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be kept long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can cause the server to receive routine technical details about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- IP address assigned to the device
- Referring site, when available
- Pages opened and approximate time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic information, such as which Greene County pages are opened most often and where sessions end. Browser settings can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some site features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a submitted query to the selected search provider
- Maintain site availability and page speed
- Diagnose errors and other technical problems
- Measure which Greene County resources visitors use
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Greene County Criminal History does not host, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It explains how to reach the Greene County Sheriff, courts, prison, Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a third-party criminal record, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy notices, retention periods, and disclosure rules govern information submitted to them. Those practices are not controlled by this policy, so review the chosen provider's terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Greene County offices, Pennsylvania agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read that policy before providing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads. Their tracking does not run under this site's direct control.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a query submitted to their tool
- Advertising networks placing ads on these pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, however, and this policy does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If data from a minor is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights over personal data. Separately, Pennsylvania's Criminal History Record Information Act, including 18 Pa.C.S. §§ 9151 and 9152, governs access to and correction of a person's own state criminal-history information. For data controlled by this site, a visitor may:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask what personal data is held about them
- Opt out of processing where applicable law provides that choice
- Request deletion when the law requires or permits it
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version will be posted here and will carry a new effective date.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
