Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Scott County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Information
Routine website systems may record basic technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser controls, although certain features may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
- Operate the site and maintain performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Scott County Detention Center, the Sheriff’s Office, the Kentucky Department of Corrections, court or open-records portals, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data. Kentucky public-record access is governed in part by the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.872, but that statute does not replace the privacy terms of a linked service.
Some advertising providers may track activity across multiple websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics services that measure site use;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be promised as completely secure or breach-proof.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where applicable.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy as practices or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
