Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. 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:
- Page-view dates and times
- Your device's assigned IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is available
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files saved on a device. Together with analytics services, they help produce combined traffic measures such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can be set to reject cookies, although disabling them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a submitted search to the appropriate partner
- Operate the site and maintain acceptable performance
- Identify technical faults and make repairs
- Measure which pages are useful and which need improvement
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Martin County guidance identifies official custodians such as the Martin County Sheriff, Martin Circuit Clerk, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not combined into a consumer report or a third-party criminal-history file. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on some pages. A partner's own privacy policy governs information entered into its tool. We do not control that company's retention, processing, or disclosure practices, so review its terms before starting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Martin County offices, Kentucky agencies, court resources, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls the visit. Read that policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that cross-site tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed to these limited recipients:
- A search partner processing a query submitted to its tool
- Advertising networks serving ads on the site
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information we collect. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, however, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor submitted such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may differ based on where you live. Kentucky's Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs access to records held by public agencies, while KRS 17.140 through 17.157 governs the centralized criminal-history system and dissemination. Those public-record rules are distinct from this private site's practices. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request deletion of information associated with you
- Ask what personal information we retain about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Opt out of certain processing when that choice is available
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised from time to time. A revised version will appear on this page and carry a new effective date, so check the page periodically for changes.
Effective date: July 26, 2026
