Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other query is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Niagara County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage follow-up. It is not shared outside the organization except when the law requires it.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when pages load, including:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when a browser supplies one.
- Date and time information for the request.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and basic visitor behavior. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Niagara County custody and records pages are useful.
- To identify broken pages, errors, and other technical issues.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court resources, corrections sites, government portals, and third-party search providers. Once you follow an outside link, that other site's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and display targeted ads. That tracking is handled by the advertising partner, not by Niagara County Inmate Population as an official records database.
