Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, place, or other search detail into a partner-powered search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Clinton County Inmate Population does not keep its own 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 review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a valid government order.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site may receive basic technical information when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage, remember technical preferences, support analytics, and help advertising systems work. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.

- To send search requests to the partner service a visitor chooses to use.

Outside Links and Services
This site links to Clinton County Sheriff's Office pages, VINELink/New York VINE, MobilePatrol, New York DOCCS, courts, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control how your information is handled.
