Information You Choose to Send
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary web systems may record basic technical and usage details when a page loads. That information can include:
- The network IP address used for the request.
- The browser type and version.
- The device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when supplied.
- Request dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technology help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can reject or remove them, although a blocked cookie may change how some functions behave.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used for limited operational purposes:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending a submitted search to the selected partner.
- Understanding which resources visitors use.
- Finding faults and correcting technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Madison County offices, Tennessee corrections pages, release-record systems, federal tools, or third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking is performed under the partner’s practices, not as a Madison County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed by:
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed secure or immune from a breach.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and a verifiable request, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal information when required.
- Opt out of processing for which an opt-out right applies.
These choices cover data held by this private site. A request concerning a Madison County, Tennessee, TDOC, court, or federal government record must go to that record’s custodian.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective information.
