Privacy Policy

This policy describes information associated with a visit to Cumberland County Criminal History, why it may be used, and when outside services receive it. Continuing to use the website indicates acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Names or places entered in a search tool are sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and returns its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

When someone sends us a message, we may retain it long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. We do not disclose that message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.

Data We Gather Automatically

Normal server and analytics records can capture technical details when a page loads:

  • Device IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Visited pages and time spent on them
  • Referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time of each request

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help measure site use, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers aggregate traffic information for us. A browser can block or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some features operate.

What We Do With This Data

  • Route a search to the selected outside provider
  • Operate, maintain, and improve page performance
  • Diagnose errors and other technical problems
  • Understand which resources visitors use
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not build, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site publishes general directions to Cumberland County offices, the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, Kentucky courts, 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

Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy, retention terms, and sharing rules. We do not control those practices. Review the policy displayed by a search provider before entering information.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Kentucky courts, the Cumberland County government, law-enforcement agencies, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal details.

Advertising providers may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate that cross-site technology.

Who Might See Your Data

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

  • Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
  • Search providers that process a query
  • Advertising networks that serve page ads
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security measures are used for information within our control. No internet service can promise absolute security, however, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 18. If we learn that such information was provided, we will remove it.

Your Data Rights

Rights depend on the law that applies to the visitor and the data. Kentucky's Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs public-agency records, while KRS 17.150 and 502 KAR 30:060 restrict certain criminal-history dissemination. Those government-record rules do not convert this private site into a public agency. Where applicable, a visitor may:

  • Request access to personal information we hold
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Seek deletion of personal information
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes available on this page with its new effective date.

Effective date: July 26, 2026
