Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box passes directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. This site does not retain or log the terms entered into those partner boxes.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related exchange. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can create routine server and analytics information such as:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The referring website, when available
- The device’s assigned IP address
- Approximate time spent on a page
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a visitor’s device. They and analytics services help aggregate traffic patterns, including popular pages and exit points. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although blocking them may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Maintaining availability and page speed
- Routing a submitted query to the chosen search partner
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We neither keep nor sell a database of personal criminal records. Our material identifies where Harlan County records may be requested, including the Circuit Court Clerk, the sheriff, the jailer, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry. Harlan County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is never assembled into a consumer report or a third-party criminal dossier.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. A partner’s privacy policy, retention period, and sharing rules apply to information submitted through its tool. Those practices are outside our control, so review the provider’s terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Harlan County offices, Kentucky agencies, court portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Check it before providing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertisements.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information can be disclosed to:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks that serve page ads
- Search partners processing a visitor’s query
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, however, so the possibility of unauthorized access cannot be eliminated.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as coming from a minor will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary with the law that applies to a visitor. Kentucky’s Open Records Act, KRS 61.870–61.884, governs public-agency records, while KRS 17.185 addresses a person’s access to a name- or fingerprint-supported KSP record. For data held by this private site, visitors may:
- Request access to personal data held about them
- Ask that inaccurate data be corrected
- Seek deletion of their data
- Decline certain forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any new version will appear here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review the page periodically.
Effective date: July 26, 2026
