Search Terms
Names, locations, or other details typed into a sponsored search box are sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.

Outside Links
The site links to county jail pages, sheriff and corrections pages, Pennsylvania UJS and DOC tools, federal locators, CRIMEWATCH, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows one of those links, that outside site's privacy policy controls the visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity or deliver interest-based ads across websites. Those practices occur on the partner's systems, not under the direct control of this site.
