Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its own results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained so we can respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems receive basic technical details when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- Timestamps for each page view
- The referring site, when one is reported
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure page traffic and patterns of use through analytics services. Browser controls can block them, though certain features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
- Maintaining reliable and responsive page delivery
- Routing a search request to the selected outside provider
- Learning which pages are useful and where improvements are needed
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies how Morgan County files may be requested from the sheriff, trial courts, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. This resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices apply to information submitted through those tools. Review the provider's terms before running a query because we do not control its handling of data.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, sheriff offices, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy controls. Check it before supplying personal information.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be available to:
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Search partners chosen to process a submitted query
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such data is identified, a deletion request may be made.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Tennessee, federal, or other privacy law may provide rights over personal data. Subject to those laws, a visitor may:
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
- Ask for access to personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate information
