Information You Submit
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or record term into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms. The provider's privacy terms may apply once the query leaves this site.
Messages
If you send an email or message connected with this site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside our operation unless needed to run the site, protect rights, comply with law, or respond to a valid legal order.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical details when a page loads. That data helps measure site performance and find errors.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, remember basic preferences, support ads, and measure which pages are useful. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features or ads may work differently after you do so.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, fast, and readable.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Hickman County jail, court, and custody topics visitors use most.
- To diagnose broken links, display errors, and other technical issues.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing signals.
Outside Links
This site links to jail rosters, Kentucky court pages, state corrections tools, federal locators, VINELink, and search partners. After you follow an outside link, the privacy policy of that site controls how it handles your data.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits and show interest-based ads across websites. Their tracking occurs on their platforms, not through a government office in Hickman County.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal contact messages. Limited data may be available to the following recipients when needed for site operation, measurement, advertising, or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure page traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when required by a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal demand.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard practices intended to protect information handled through this site. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so this notice does not promise that data can never be accessed, disclosed, changed, or lost.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may ask that it be reviewed and deleted where reasonably possible.
Your Data Choices
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask about personal data connected with your use of this site. Kentucky open-records statutes such as KRS 61.870 through KRS 61.884 apply to government records, not to this private website, but they may matter when requesting records from an agency.
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Ask that incorrect personal data be corrected.
- Ask that personal data be deleted when retention is no longer needed.
- Opt out of certain processing where an opt-out right applies.
Notice Updates
This Privacy Notice may be revised as site tools, search partners, legal requirements, or advertising practices change. Updates will be posted on this page with the current text replacing the prior version.
