Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. We do not disclose the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server may receive routine technical information about that 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 files saved by the browser. They help measure page traffic and patterns in how visitors move through the site. Analytics providers combine those signals into reports. Browser controls can block cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating the site and maintaining acceptable load times
- Routing a submitted search to the selected partner
- Measuring which content visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Delivering advertising that may reflect inferred interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Barren County guidance points to the Circuit Court Clerk, sheriff, detention center, Kentucky State Police, Kentucky Department of Corrections, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party dossiers or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search tools. Information submitted to a tool falls under that provider's privacy policy and retention rules. We do not control those rules, so review the provider's terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Barren County offices, Kentucky agencies, court portals, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's policy governs the interaction. Check that policy before sharing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information can be processed by:
- 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 service can promise perfect security, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, it will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Rights depend on the law that applies to the visitor and the data. Kentucky's Open Records Act, KRS 61.870-.884, concerns covered public-agency records, while KRS Chapter 17 governs important state criminal-history and registry functions. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government 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
This policy may be revised as services or legal duties change. The current version will appear here with its effective date.
