Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other lookup detail into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. We do not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the information you provide to read, route, and answer that message. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.

Links Away From This Site
This site links to jail rosters, Westmoreland County pages, Pennsylvania UJS Case Search, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, VINELink, federal locators, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad measurement or targeted advertising. Those activities occur through the partner's tools, not through an official Westmoreland County system.
