Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider handles the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- Page-view timestamps
- The referring website, when one is available
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Visited pages and approximate time spent on them
- The Internet Protocol address assigned to the device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure how visitors move through the website, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine that traffic information for us. You can block cookies through browser controls, although doing so may change how some website functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search request to the selected outside provider
- Diagnosing errors and other technical faults
- Maintaining website performance and availability
- Measuring which content visitors use most
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not host, build, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The website explains where Coffee County records are maintained under the Tennessee Public Records Act, T.C.A. §§10-7-501 through 10-7-516, and how Tennessee Bureau of Investigation criminal-history access operates under T.C.A. §38-6-120. The relevant custodians include the Coffee County Sheriff, local courts, TBI, and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a file about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the website's search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Because each provider controls its own storage and disclosure rules, review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Coffee County offices, Tennessee agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy controls the visit. Check it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to choose targeted ads. That processing occurs on the provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by us. It may be disclosed to:
- Analytics providers that measure website traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that serve material on the pages
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order compels disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or another breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live and whether the law applies, the Tennessee Information Protection Act, T.C.A. §§47-18-3301 through 47-18-3315, and other privacy or consumer-protection laws may provide rights concerning personal information. You may:
- Ask that certain processing stop
- Request deletion of personal data
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Request access to personal data we maintain about you
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any new version will be posted here with an updated effective date, so review the page periodically for changes.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
