Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, city, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates the tool. Hart County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules apply to the query after submission.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server, security, and analytics systems may receive these details when a page loads:
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- The pages visited and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support certain functions. You may block or remove cookies through your browser settings. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How We Use Collected Data
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of this Hart County reference. In particular, it may be used to:
- Keep pages available, responsive, and secure.
- Send a submitted query to the selected search partner.
- Understand which records-resource pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors, outages, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy on Linked Websites
Links may lead to Hart County Jail, the sheriff, city police, Kentucky VINE, CourtNet, the Kentucky Department of Corrections, federal locators, public-record portals, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy notice and terms control. Kentucky public-record requests made under KRS 61.872 go to the relevant government custodian, not to this site.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based advertising. That collection occurs on their systems and is governed by their policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still be transmitted to these parties when needed for the stated functions:
- Search partners that process a query you submit.
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Safeguards and Their Limits
We use reasonable, commonly accepted practices to protect information under our control. No website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed immune from every intrusion, loss, or misuse. We therefore cannot promise breach-proof security.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of your personal information.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Erase personal information that may lawfully be deleted.
- Stop certain forms of processing where an opt-out right applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices, services, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date when one is adopted.
