Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a site search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those query terms on our own systems. The provider’s terms and privacy practices apply to the query after it is sent.
Messages
If a visitor emails us or sends a message through an available contact option, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law. If a message asks a county office for a public record, the office’s request process applies instead. Tennessee public-record access is addressed in T.C.A. §10-7-503 and related rules, not by this private-site notice.
Technical Information
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page is requested. This data helps operate the service, measure performance, and diagnose problems.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time of the request.
Cookies
Cookies and comparable technologies may be used to understand how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Information is used for the ordinary operation and improvement of the site, not to create official custody or court records.
- Maintain the site and improve page performance.
- Send a search entry to the chosen partner service.
- Learn which pages readers find useful.
- Identify and correct technical faults.
- Serve advertising that may be based on interests.
Other Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Hamblen County jail roster, sheriff and corrections resources, court portals, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Their privacy policies govern after a visitor leaves this site. For example, an official iSOMS jail search and the Tennessee Department of Correction locator each operate under their own practices.
Advertising partners may collect information across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Those partners, rather than this site, control that collection and the choices offered for it.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be received by the following parties when needed for the purposes described here.
- Search partners that process a submitted search query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Measures
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, and we cannot guarantee that a system will never be compromised.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.
