Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information this private Grainger County reference service receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the service, visitors accept these practices and should review the policies of any outside resource they choose to visit.

Information You Provide

A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. This service does not retain or log that query on its own systems. A message sent by email or through a contact method may be kept so it can be answered and is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Information and Cookies

Routine technical information may be collected when a page is loaded to operate and improve the service.

  • Internet protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring site, when provided
  • Dates and times of visits

Cookies help measure how the service is used. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Information is used to run the service, direct a submitted search to the appropriate partner, understand which resources are useful, correct technical problems, and display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.


Outside Links and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff, court, corrections, jail-roster, government, or independent search resources. Each outside operator controls its own privacy practices after a visitor leaves this service. Advertising providers may also measure activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. It can be shared only with the limited recipients needed to operate the service or meet a legal obligation.

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement agencies or public bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security and Young Visitors

Reasonable security practices are used, but no connected system can promise complete security. This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion.


Your Choices

A visitor may ask for a copy of personal information held by this service, request a correction, ask for deletion, or opt out of certain processing where applicable. Use Contact Us to make a request.


Policy Changes

This notice may be revised as the service changes. A revised version takes effect when posted here.
