Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Lancaster County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
We retain email or contact-form messages long enough to respond and manage the conversation. We do not share them outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to Lancaster sheriff and court records, VADOC and federal portals, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy governs its collection and use.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or tailor ads. That tracking occurs under the advertising partner's practices, not as a Lancaster County government function.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may still be processed by a limited set of service providers or disclosed when legally compelled.
- Search partners that handle submitted queries
- Analytics vendors supporting traffic measurement
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect data. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, and this policy does not guarantee that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.
