Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. That provider processes the query and returns its result. This site does not keep a separate log of the search terms entered through those partner boxes.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send a message to the site, we retain it so we can respond and keep track of the exchange. We do not share message contents outside our organization unless required to do so by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page creates routine technical records that can include:
- 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 a browser. The site and analytics providers may use them to understand page visits and general traffic patterns. You can block cookies in your browser controls, though some site functions may respond differently after that change.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating and improving page performance
- Forwarding search entries to the provider that powers the tool
- Measuring which pages visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical problems
- Supporting advertising that may be relevant to a visit
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not keep or sell a warrant database, individual case files, or a roster of wanted people. It provides general instructions about Rutherford County offices and court records. Visitor information is not compiled here into consumer reports or files about other people, and the site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate some search boxes. Entries submitted there are governed by the provider's privacy terms. Each partner decides how long it keeps data and whether it shares information; this site does not control those practices. Read the partner policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links on these pages can lead to sheriff, court, state, legal-aid, or commercial search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy rules apply. Check them before sending personal information.
Some advertising providers may observe activity across websites for ad selection. That collection takes place under the provider's own systems and policies.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, information may be handled by:
- Search providers receiving queries submitted through their tools
- Analytics services that measure use and performance
- Advertising networks placing ads on site pages
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard safeguards for information handled by the site. Internet services cannot be guaranteed completely secure, so no security method can promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If you believe a minor has sent information to the site, contact us so we can review and remove it when appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Privacy and consumer-protection rights depend on where you live and which rules apply. The search terms entered through partner tools are not stored by this site. Depending on applicable law, a person may request:
- A copy of information held about you
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion of information where applicable
- To opt out of processing where the law provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices change. A new version and its effective date will appear here. Review this page again if you want to see the current description of data handling.
