Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use Anderson County Criminal History, you acknowledge the practices stated on this page.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Names and locations entered in a search tool are sent to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers may record routine technical information when a page loads:

  • Visit dates, times, pages viewed, and time spent
  • Device type and operating system
  • Browser type and version
  • Internet Protocol address
  • The referring website, when available

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies and analytics services help measure traffic, popular pages, and site performance. A browser can reject cookies, though blocking them may change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operate, secure, and improve the website
  • Send a submitted query to the selected search provider
  • Measure which pages visitors use
  • Diagnose errors and performance problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to approach Anderson County courts and law-enforcement offices, the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

An outside company's privacy policy applies to information entered in its search box. Each partner controls its own retention, processing, and sharing practices. Review those terms before sending a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Anderson County offices, Kentucky agencies, courts, legal resources, advertisers, or search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's policy controls. Some advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:

  • Analytics and site-performance providers
  • Search partners processing a query
  • Advertising networks serving content
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

We use customary safeguards for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law may allow a person to request access, correction, deletion, or limits on certain processing. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs access to qualifying public-agency records, while KRS 17.151 governs Kentucky's centralized criminal-history system. Those public-record laws do not turn this private site's visitor data into a government record. Available requests may include:

  • Obtaining a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correcting inaccurate personal data
  • Seeking deletion where applicable
  • Objecting to certain processing where applicable

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy and will post the current version here with its effective date. Continued use after an update is governed by the revised policy.

Effective date: July 26, 2026
