Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or similar detail into a search box supplied by a partner service, that search is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and handle the issue raised. We do not share message contents outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads. That data may include:
- Your IP address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages you viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, if your browser provides one.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, measure performance, support advertising, and improve page function. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently afterward.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the Clearfield County pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which jail, court, DOC, BOP, ICE, VINE, and RTKL pages are useful.
- To identify broken links, errors, security issues, and performance problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Other Websites and Official Portals
This site links to Clearfield County offices, Pennsylvania court and corrections resources, Pennsylvania VINE/SAVIN, federal locators, ICE ODLS, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy rules of the destination site apply. Official records accessed through government offices may also be controlled by Pennsylvania law, including the Right-to-Know Law and the Criminal History Record Information Act.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their platforms, not as a public record held by this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by the following parties when needed for site operation or legal compliance:
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and technical performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small public-reference website. No internet-connected service can be promised as fully secure, so we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, altered, or disclosed without authorization.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

- You may request correction of information that is inaccurate.
- You may request deletion of information we are not required to keep.
