Information You Choose to Send
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Schuyler County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message may be retained long enough to review it and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when required by law.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site features. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some parts of the site may behave differently after those settings are changed.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Schuyler County jail, court, and locator pages are useful.
- To identify technical errors and improve site performance.
- To display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Outside Websites and Official Records
This site links to sheriff pages such as Sheriff Kevin Rumsey's Schuyler County Sheriff's Office, jail resources such as Schuyler County Corrections, New York DOCCS, court portals, federal locators, ICE resources, VINE, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy and terms control that visit. Public-record requests to New York agencies are handled under New York Public Officers Law Article 6, including sections 87 and 89, not by this private website.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for targeted advertising. That tracking happens through their platforms, not through records stored by this site. Official records requests instead belong with channels such as the Sheriff's Civil / Records page.

- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
