Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location submitted through a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the entry and supplies its results. We do not keep or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers may collect routine technical information when a visitor loads a page, including:
- The device's IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- The date and time of each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Small files called cookies help us understand site traffic, such as popular pages and where visits end. Analytics providers combine this usage information for reporting. You can block cookies through your browser, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route submitted searches to the appropriate partner service
- Maintain site availability and page speed
- Identify useful content and pages that need improvement
- Diagnose and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not own, assemble, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The website explains where Bradford County records can be obtained, including the county courts, the correct police or sheriff custodian, the Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Records and Identification Division, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party criminal dossiers.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on this website. Information entered in a search tool is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention choices, and disclosure practices. We do not control those practices. Review the applicable provider policy before submitting information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Bradford County offices, Pennsylvania court portals, state agencies, legal-assistance resources, or outside search services. Once you follow an external link, that destination's privacy policy applies. Read its terms before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking infrastructure.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed to:
- Search providers that process a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure performance and traffic
- Advertising networks that serve ads on the website
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary security measures for information under our control. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however. We take reasonable steps to protect collected data but cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor submitted personal data, we will remove it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Rights concerning site data can depend on where you live. Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101–67.3104, applies to qualifying public records held by government agencies, not private-site visitor data. The Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. §§ 9101–9183, governs Pennsylvania criminal-history collection, maintenance, dissemination, completeness, and correction. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Object to certain forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy. A revised policy will appear here with an updated effective date, so review this page periodically for changes in our practices.
Effective date: August 6, 2026
