Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the details needed to review and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
A page request may produce routine technical and usage data:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, though some site functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data may be used for these purposes:
- Operating the site and maintaining reasonable performance
- Passing a search request to the selected partner
- Understanding which pages visitors find useful
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Carter County jail and sheriff pages, Kentucky corrections or court portals, federal locators, news sources, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy terms govern its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under their policies, not this one.
Possible Data Recipients
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No website, network, storage system, or internet transmission can be promised to be completely secure or breach-proof.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may contact us and request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request a correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Requests can be sent through the Contact Us page.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
