Information You Choose to Send
If you type a name or place into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that runs the tool. This site does not keep a separate log of those search terms on its own servers. The partner's privacy notice and terms control its handling of the submission.
If you send a message through email or another contact route, the message and the reply address are kept long enough to answer, protect the service, or meet a legal duty. They are not sold or shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to operate the service.
Technical Data from a Visit
Routine web delivery may record technical details when a page loads:
- IP address or an approximate network location
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page, when one is supplied
- Dates and timestamps
Cookies or similar tools may help measure how visitors use the pages. Browser settings can block cookies. Some features may work differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the pages available and improve their speed.
- Send a search request to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Learn which pages are useful and where navigation needs work.
- Find errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Use is limited to these service, measurement, safety, and communication needs. A search-partner result does not become an official Rutherford County record merely because it is shown in a box.
Outside Sites and Advertising
These pages link to the Rutherford County sheriff and jail search, city police resources, courts, state corrections, federal locators, news outlets, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy policy and terms govern. This site does not control its content, security, uptime, or data practices.
Some advertising partners may use their own tools to measure activity across sites for targeted ads. That activity occurs on their systems under their notices, not under a promise that this site can see or control every advertising profile.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold by this site. Information may nevertheless be processed by:
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics services that measure page use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Efforts
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information handled here. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, so this site cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or exposed.
Visitors Under 18
These pages are intended for adults. The site does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may use the contact route to ask that it be deleted.
Your Privacy Requests
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask about:
- A copy of personal data held here.
- Correction of inaccurate data.
- Deletion of data that no longer needs to be retained.
- Opting out of certain processing, where the service supports that choice.
Send a request through Contacts. A request may need enough information to identify the relevant message or record, but do not send more sensitive material than needed.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised when the service, law, or data practices change. The new text takes effect when posted here, along with a new effective date when one is supplied. The current notice is effective August 28, 2026.
