Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company that operates the tool. That provider processes the query under its own rules. We do not keep a separate log of search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related exchange. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Servers and analytics tools can receive routine technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view times and visit duration
- Device type and operating system
- Referring page or website, when available
- Browser name and version
- Pages opened during the visit
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, and how visitors move through the site. Browser controls can block or clear them, although a few functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Finding faults and maintaining reliable performance
- Routing a query to the selected search partner
- Understanding which resources visitors use
- Operating and improving the site
- Displaying advertising that may be relevant
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Carroll County Criminal History does not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It provides general directions to custodians such as the sheriff, Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police, and Kentucky Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not turned into a consumer report or a file about another person, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search-box services. Their privacy notices, retention schedules, and sharing rules apply to information submitted through those tools. Review the chosen provider's terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, the sheriff, Kentucky agencies, legal resources, or commercial tools. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's privacy policy controls. Check it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate that tracking infrastructure.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data can reach:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that receive a query submitted to their tool
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
- Advertising networks that serve content on the pages
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 and will delete such data when its presence is brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary by residence and applicable law. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs records held by public agencies rather than data held by this private site. Subject to other legal limits, you can:
- Request deletion of personal data we retain
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Object to certain processing where the law permits
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will be posted here and identified by a new effective date. Reviewing this page from time to time is the best way to see current practices.
Effective date: July 26, 2026
