Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share message contents outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, technical information may be collected when a page loads, including pages that link to the Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center roster, NJDOC, NJ Courts, OPRA offices, BOP, ICE, or VINELink.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time of visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and whether pages load correctly. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some site features or partner tools may behave differently after cookies are disabled.
How We Use Information
- Keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Understand which Middlesex County jail, court, facility, and locator pages are useful.
- Diagnose broken links, display errors, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests or page context.
Outside Links and Tools
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, New Jersey OPRA resources, court portals, state and federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination website's privacy policy and terms control its handling of your activity.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to understand activity across websites and serve interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Middlesex County government agency.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Some information may be processed by the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and page use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. You should not treat any website submission as perfectly secure.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of information we are not required to keep.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that choice.
Policy Updates
This policy may change as the site, advertising tools, search partners, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised effective version reflected by the current page text.
