Information You Submit
Information is collected when a visitor chooses to provide it.
Search Queries
Terms entered in an embedded search box pass directly to the third-party search provider that powers it. That provider may collect, use, and retain the query under its own policy. Mason County Recent Arrests does not control the provider's systems.
Messages
A contact message may include the sender's name, email address, message text, and any other details included voluntarily. Do not send sensitive identity documents, payment data, or confidential legal material.
Automatic Technical Data
Servers and service providers may automatically receive an IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location, and visit time. This data helps operate, secure, and understand use of the service.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technology may remember settings, measure traffic, support advertising, and enable partner tools. Browser controls can limit cookies, though parts of the service may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Data may be used to deliver requested features, answer messages, maintain security, diagnose faults, measure traffic, improve content, prevent misuse, and meet legal duties. Kentucky public-record access under KRS 61.870 through 61.884 governs government custodians, not the private site's handling of visitor data.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to MCDC, the Mason County Sheriff, Kentucky courts and corrections, VINELink, federal locators, news outlets, and other services. Each destination sets its own privacy terms. Leaving this site means the destination's practices apply.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may be received by search partners, hosting and analytics vendors, advertising networks, and contractors needed to operate the service. It may also be disclosed to law enforcement or another authority when required by a valid legal order, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and system integrity. Personal data is not sold as a government record.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed secure. Visitors should limit what they submit and use official agency channels for sensitive record matters.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. Personal information from a minor is not knowingly sought. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies, a visitor may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information submitted directly to this site, or may object to certain processing. Cookie controls are available through the browser. Rights concerning data held by a search partner must be exercised with that provider.
Notice Changes
This Privacy Notice may be revised as practices, vendors, or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted. Continued use after posting means the revised notice applies.
