Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the name or place and supplies its own response. We do not retain or record those query terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We may keep an email or other direct message long enough to respond and maintain necessary correspondence. It remains within our operation unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can cause our servers to receive routine technical and usage details, including:
- Page-view dates, times, and visit duration
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed during the session
- The referring site, when one is reported
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and outside analytics services help us see aggregate traffic patterns, such as which pages receive visits and where sessions end. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a submitted query to the provider operating the search tool
- Measure which reference pages visitors use
- Find errors, security concerns, and performance problems
- Maintain reliable page delivery
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Fentress County reference material identifies the sheriff, trial courts, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry as official sources. Visitor information is not turned into a third-party record or consumer report, and this operation is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the embedded search tools. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern any data sent through a tool. We cannot set those practices. Review the provider's policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Fentress County sheriff, Tennessee courts, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy rules apply. Check those terms before providing personal details.
An advertising partner may use its own systems to recognize activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be available to these limited recipients:
- A search partner receiving a query through its tool
- An advertising network serving content on a page
- An analytics provider measuring traffic and performance
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect the information in our control. No online system can guarantee perfect protection, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or another security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that such information was submitted, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Tennessee privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. The Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 10-7-501 through 10-7-515, governs access to covered government records and does not turn this private website into a public-record custodian. Subject to the law that applies, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information we hold
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
- Seek deletion when the governing law permits it
- Object to processing where an applicable right allows that choice
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here and will carry a new date, so visitors should review it from time to time.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
