Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what information may be collected when you use Elliott County Recent Arrests, how that information supports the site, and when it may be shared with service providers or lawful authorities. It covers searches, direct messages, routine technical records, cookies, advertising, and links to outside services. By continuing to use the site, you acknowledge the practices described below. Privacy choices and the treatment of information on a government or third-party page are controlled by that page once you leave this site.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

When you type a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that query is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the search. Elliott County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may handle the query under its own terms and privacy policy, so review those rules before using the tool.

Emails and Other Messages

If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we retain the information needed to read the request and respond. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that is not needed for the question.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our systems and service providers receive basic technical details when a page loads. This information supports delivery, security, diagnostics, and broad usage measurement. It may include:

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • The browser name and version in use.
  • Your device category and operating system.
  • Pages opened and the time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • Dates and times associated with requests.

Cookie Controls

Cookies and similar browser storage may help us understand how visitors move through the site and whether features work as intended. You can limit or block cookies through your browser settings. Some functions or preferences may behave differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Supports the Site

Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and not to create a government record. Specific uses include:

  • Keeping pages available, responsive, and secure.
  • Sending a search request to the correct partner service.
  • Learning which guides visitors find useful.
  • Detecting errors and resolving technical faults.
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.

Privacy on Linked Services

Elliott County Recent Arrests links to county and state offices, court tools, custody services, corrections pages, possible jail resources, and third-party search providers. Those destinations operate independently. Once you select an outside link, that destination's privacy policy and data practices govern what happens there.

Some advertising partners may use their own cookies or related technology to understand activity across websites and present targeted ads. That processing occurs on the partner's systems and is subject to the partner's controls, not this site's direct control.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may nevertheless pass to organizations that perform a site function or to authorities acting through valid legal process. Those recipients may include:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Safeguarding Collected Information

We use reasonable, standard practices intended to protect data from improper access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, transmission method, or connected storage system can be guaranteed breach-proof. This notice therefore does not promise absolute security.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek or collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, contact us and identify the material so we can review and delete it where appropriate.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, you may make the following requests:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held about you.
  • Request correction of information that is inaccurate.
  • Ask that eligible personal information be erased.
  • Object to or opt out of certain forms of processing.

A request about an arrest record, court file, VINE account, search-partner result, or other linked service must go to the organization that controls that information. We cannot alter records maintained on an outside system.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as site features, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after a revision means the current posted notice applies to that use.
