Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered into a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its result. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, the message may be kept long enough to respond and maintain necessary correspondence. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics records may capture technical facts when a page loads:
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic and site use. Analytics services may combine that activity into reports about popular pages and visit patterns. Browser controls can block cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate the site and improve page speed
- Route submitted searches to the selected provider
- Measure which information visitors use
- Diagnose errors and security problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how official Claiborne County material can be requested from the sheriff, courts, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party profiles or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted through a partner tool is governed by that company's privacy policy, retention choices, and sharing practices. Review those terms before starting a search because we do not control the partner's handling of data.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Claiborne County agencies, Tennessee offices, courts, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before sending personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking does not run under our direct control.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Search partners handling a query submitted to their tool
- Analytics providers measuring use and performance
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect the information under our control. No online system can promise complete security, however, so we cannot guarantee that an intrusion or loss will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when a valid request brings it to our attention.
Your Data Rights
Tennessee consumer-protection law, including the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act at T.C.A. § 47-18-101 et seq., may apply according to the facts and the visitor's location. Available requests can include:
- Obtaining a copy of personal data held about you
- Correcting inaccurate information
- Requesting deletion where applicable
- Objecting to or opting out of certain processing

This policy may change as services or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with its new effective date.
