Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5, 2026. We will post the date of the most recent revision at the top of this page.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Borough of Tyrone handles information in connection with this website. It applies to this website only. It does not apply to third-party websites or services we link to, or to information the Borough collects outside of the website.

2. Information You Provide

You can browse most of this website without giving us any personal information. You may choose to provide information when you, for example, email the Borough, submit a form or request, apply for a permit or job, or sign up for alerts. Depending on what you do, this may include your name, contact information, and details related to your request.

3. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our web server and any analytics tools may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and device, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to operate, secure, and improve the website and is generally handled in aggregate.

4. Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies or similar technologies and analytics services to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Most web browsers let you refuse or delete cookies; doing so may affect how some features work. Where analytics are used, they help us understand overall usage patterns rather than identify individual visitors.

5. How We Use Information

We use information to respond to your requests; to provide and improve Borough services and this website; to process payments and applications; to communicate with you; to maintain security and prevent misuse; and to comply with our legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

6. Third-party Services and Links

Some features rely on third-party providers, each with its own privacy practices:

• Online bill payment is handled by a third-party vendor (for example, XpressBillPay). Payment-card details are processed by that vendor under its own privacy and security practices; the Borough does not receive or store full payment-card numbers.
• Maps, social media, web fonts, and the online Code (eCode360) may be provided by third parties when you use those features or links.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use.

7. Public Records and the Right-to-Know Law

This is important: the Borough of Tyrone is a Pennsylvania local agency subject to the Right-to-Know Law and other public-records and records-retention laws. Information you submit to the Borough — including emails, form submissions, and other communications — may constitute a public record that is subject to disclosure, except where an exemption applies. Please keep this in mind, and avoid sending sensitive personal information through the website unless it is necessary. To learn how public records work, see Right-to-Know Requests.

8. How Information Is Shared

The Borough may share information: with service providers who help us operate the website and deliver services (such as payment processors), under contract; with other government agencies where appropriate to provide a service you requested; as required by law, subpoena, or the Right-to-Know Law; and to protect the rights, safety, and property of the Borough and the public. We do not sell personal information.

9. Information Security

The Borough takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information under its control. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. The Borough does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

11. Your Choices

You can browse the website without providing personal information, decline or delete cookies through your browser settings, and choose not to submit forms or sign up for optional communications. If you have subscribed to an optional notification, you may ask to be removed.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the “last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
