Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a partner-powered search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, the message and your reply address may be kept long enough to respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on each page.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and improve page performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some site or partner-tool features may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Rockland jail, court, and locator pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and performance issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to official resources such as the Rockland County Sheriff's Office, the Rockland County FOIL process under New York Public Officers Law Article 6, VINELink, New York DOCCS, WebCrims, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Rockland County government office.

- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for this site, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise that data transmission or storage will be error-free or breach-proof.
