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
