Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider that operates the tool. That provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent by email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the correspondence. They remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, standard server and analytics logs can collect these technical details:
- Page-view dates and times
- Browser name and version
- Referring website, when available
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure how the website is used, such as which resources receive traffic and where visits end. Analytics providers combine that activity into reports. You may block cookies through browser settings, although doing so can change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Routing a search query to the selected partner
- Operating the website and improving load performance
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. The published material explains how to contact the Tipton County Sheriff and jail, local court clerks, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation repository, and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a third-party criminal profile or consumer report. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search widgets. A query submitted through a widget is governed by that company's privacy policy and retention rules, which we do not control. Review the provider's policy before entering information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Tipton County offices, Tennessee agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside tools. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy terms control. Check those terms before sharing personal information.
Some advertising companies use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking is controlled by their policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used for information we control. No internet system can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If such information is identified, it will be removed when properly brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
The Tennessee Public Records Act, T.C.A. §§10-7-501 through 10-7-515, governs access to government records, while T.C.A. §38-6-120 governs TBI criminal-history dissemination. Neither makes this private site's visitor logs a state criminal record. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Object to certain processing where the law provides that choice
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask what personal information is held about you
- Request deletion when no legal retention duty applies
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A replacement version will be posted here with its effective date.
