Knox Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses the site, why it is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Names Entered in Search

A name, location, or other term placed in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own system. The provider's privacy policy applies to its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

Email and contact-form messages may be retained long enough to answer and manage the request. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Normal website systems can record limited technical details when a page loads. Those records may include:

  • The visitor's IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring page, when one is supplied.
  • Date and time stamps for the visit.

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies may be used to measure how people move through the site and to support page functions. A browser can block or remove cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


Reasons Data Is Used

Collected information helps operate and improve the service. It may be used to:

  • Keep pages available, secure, and responsive.
  • Send a search request to the selected partner.
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful.
  • Detect errors and correct technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests.

Government and Outside Links

Links lead to Knox County release records, sheriff and court pages, Ohio corrections resources, federal locators, and third-party search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy policy controls. Some advertising partners may use their systems to measure activity across websites and choose interest-based ads.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may still be handled by:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
  • Law-enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information under this site's control. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is fully secure, so the site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Must Be Adults

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.


Your Information Choices

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a user may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data held by the site.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Delete information that no longer must be retained.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when posted here with an updated effective date.
