Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information that may be processed when someone visits Knox County Recent Arrests, uses an outside search tool, or sends us a message. It also explains the limited purposes for that data and the choices available to visitors.

Information You Submit

A name or location entered in a search widget passes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s own privacy terms apply to its processing.

If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to reply. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Routine web technology may collect technical details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies help measure use and support site functions. A browser can block or delete cookies, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data is used only for ordinary site and service needs:

  • Operating the site and maintaining performance
  • Sending a search request to the chosen provider
  • Learning which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnosing errors and security issues
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff resources, arrest reports, courts, corrections pages, federal locators, news sites, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or tailor ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed only to parties that perform a relevant function:

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

Security Is Best Effort

We use standard safeguards suited to this type of site. No internet service, storage system, or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

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


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate information, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. These rights concern data held by this site. Missouri government records remain controlled by the agency and Missouri Sunshine Law, including Chapter 610.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as practices or legal requirements change. The updated version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
