Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response; this site does not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It remains within the site team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page causes the server to receive ordinary technical information about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine that activity into broader measurements. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal records is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The site explains how to reach McCracken County offices, Kentucky State Police, Kentucky courts, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a record about another person or a consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the site's search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern any information entered there. Review the applicable provider policy before submitting a query because those choices are outside this site's control.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to the McCracken County Sheriff, Kentucky courts, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms control. Those terms should be read before personal details are shared.
Advertising companies 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 may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices protect information handled by the site. No internet service is completely secure, however, so protection against every breach cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A report that a minor supplied information will be reviewed so the material can be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. Kentucky's Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs access to qualifying records held by public agencies; it does not turn this private site into a government records custodian. Visitors may still:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
Revisions to this policy will be posted on this page with a replacement effective date. Reviewing that date is the simplest way to identify a change.
Effective date: July 26, 2026
