Privacy Policy

This policy describes information collected during a visit to Morgan County Criminal History, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another service may receive it. It also explains how search tools, cookies, analytics, advertising, and outside links work. By continuing to use the website, you accept the practices stated in this policy.

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 that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If you send an email, the message may be retained so a response can be provided. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, servers may automatically receive basic technical and usage details:

  • Page-view dates, times, and visit length
  • Device type and operating system
  • The referring site, when one is supplied
  • Browser name and version
  • Pages viewed during the visit
  • The device's assigned IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help produce aggregate traffic information, such as which Morgan County pages receive visits and where sessions end. Browser controls can block cookies, although some website functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Finding and resolving performance or technical faults
  • Routing a search request to the service that runs the tool
  • Operating pages and maintaining reliable load times
  • Measuring which resources visitors use
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

No database of personal criminal records is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies official Morgan County channels such as the sheriff, jailer, Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police, Administrative Office of the Courts, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a tool is covered by that provider's policy rather than this one. Each provider controls how long it keeps data and whether it shares data. Review those terms before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Kentucky courts, law-enforcement agencies, public offices, legal resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking infrastructure.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:

  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
  • Search providers that process submitted queries
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
  • Advertising networks that serve ads on the pages

How We Protect Your Data

Standard security measures are used to protect collected information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, so a breach cannot be ruled out despite those safeguards.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If such information is identified, a deletion request may be made.

Your Data Rights

Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. Kentucky's Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs records held by public agencies rather than private website data. KRS Chapter 17 separately controls criminal-history dissemination and registry information. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:

  • Request deletion of personal information when the law permits it
  • Ask what personal information is held about them
  • Seek correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Opt out of processing where a governing law provides that choice

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A new version becomes available on this page with its effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.

Effective date: July 26, 2026
