Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That company processes the request and supplies the response. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may record routine technical details about the visit:
- 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 device files that help measure visits, popular pages, and where sessions end. Analytics providers combine that traffic information for reporting. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies how to request Monroe County material from the Circuit Court Clerk, the originating law-enforcement agency, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party criminal histories or consumer reports. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted to one of those tools is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices. Review those terms before entering a query because we do not control them.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Monroe County offices, Tennessee agencies, court portals, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy governs. Read it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to track activity across sites and select ads. We do not operate that cross-site tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- 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 to protect collected data. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from a person under 18. If such data is identified, it will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary by residence and applicable law. The Tennessee Public Records Act, TCA §§10-7-503 and 10-7-504, governs access to and confidentiality of government records; it does not turn this private site into a government custodian. Subject to the law that applies, you 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
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with its new effective date.
