Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered into a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us is retained as needed to prepare and deliver a response. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server automatically receives basic technical and usage details:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure page traffic and the points at which visits end. Analytics providers combine that activity into usage reports. A browser can block cookies, although certain features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The published material explains where Anderson County files may be requested from the sheriff, courts, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation repository, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not turned into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the site's search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing terms govern data submitted through those tools. Review the applicable provider policy before entering a query because we do not control those practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Anderson County offices, Tennessee agencies, courts, legal resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read that policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed only to the following types of recipients:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. We will delete such information when a valid request identifies it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with a user's location. Tennessee's Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 10-7-501 through 10-7-506, governs access to state and local government records, while Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 40-39-201 through 40-39-218 governs dissemination and misuse of registry information. Those public-record laws do not turn this private site into a government custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated date.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
