Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or other search detail into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That information can include:
- Your IP address.
- The browser and browser version used.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, if your browser sends one.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help measure site use, remember technical preferences, support advertising, and understand which Cattaraugus County record pages are useful. You can block cookies in your browser, but some parts of the site or partner tools may work differently if you do.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which pages about Cattaraugus County Jail, DOCCS, FOIL, and related resources help readers.
- To diagnose broken links, display issues, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Other Websites and Services
This site links to sheriff pages, county FOIL resources, court portals, New York State DOCCS pages, federal locators, ICE resources, and private search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy controls its collection and use of your information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is controlled by the advertising partner, not by Cattaraugus County Inmate Population.

- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable, standard practices to protect site information. No internet-connected website, server, email account, or analytics platform can be promised as perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed improperly.
