Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a visitor types a name, county, state, or other search term into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other contact message, the message details may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the request. Those messages are not shared outside the site operation unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That data helps maintain performance, diagnose errors, and understand how pages are used.
- IP address or similar network identifier.
- Browser name, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, operating system, and general display information.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring site or link, when that information is passed by the browser.
- Dates and timestamps tied to visits or requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, ads, preference handling, and basic site operation. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or partner tools may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To operate the site and keep pages available.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which McCreary County jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To find, prevent, and repair technical problems or misuse.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or page activity.
Outside Websites
This site links to official jail rosters, Kentucky Court of Justice pages, Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, the BOP inmate locator, ICE ODLS, VINELink, sheriff and county pages, and third-party search tools. Kentucky public-record access is governed by statutes such as KRS 61.870 and KRS 61.872, but once a visitor leaves this site, the other site's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies, pixels, or similar tools to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. That activity happens through the partner's systems, not through an official McCreary County office.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to limited parties that help operate the site or respond to legal obligations.
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page use.
- Advertising networks and ad technology vendors.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected system can be promised as fully secure, and no transmission or storage method is guaranteed to be breach-proof.
