Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the third-party company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its result. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept long enough to review and answer it. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive standard technical information when a page loads:
- 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 files placed on a device to help measure page use, traffic patterns, and points where visits end. Analytics providers combine that information for us. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search to the provider selected by the visitor
- Finding and correcting performance or technical problems
- Operating the website and improving page speed
- Measuring which information visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, store, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Wilson County guidance identifies official sources such as the sheriff, Circuit Court Clerk, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a file about another person, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the embedded search tools. Their privacy terms govern the information entered there, including retention and disclosure choices that we do not control. Review the provider's policy before starting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff, court, Tennessee agency, legal-aid, or outside search pages. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's policy controls its collection practices. Review that policy before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed 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 are used for information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect protection, so a breach-free result cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when required.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights concerning visitor data. Tennessee's Public Records Act, T.C.A. §§ 10-7-501 through 10-7-516, governs official government records, while T.C.A. § 38-6-120 governs TBI's public criminal-history channel; neither makes this private website an official records custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- 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 will be posted here and identified by a new effective date. The current version controls use after publication.
