Terms Entered in Search
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Carter County Recent Arrests does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.

An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to review it and send a reply. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics records may capture details about a page visit.
- The visitor's IP address.

- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help show how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or remove them, though blocking cookies may cause some features to work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports operation and improvement of the site.
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send search requests to the selected partner.
- Measure which content visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors and security concerns.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to the Carter County jail roster, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may measure activity across multiple websites to select ads. That processing takes place on their systems, not in a Carter County government record system.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by a limited group of service providers or authorities.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic.
- Advertising networks serving site ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site 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 contact us and request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, a person may make the following requests.
- Ask for a copy of personal data held about them.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
- Opt out of processing where that right applies.
