Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or location into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads. That data helps with security, maintenance, analytics, and ad delivery.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages opened and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently after they are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the Graves County pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search activity to the correct partner service when a partner tool is used.
- To understand which jail, court, roster, and facility pages visitors use most often.
- To detect technical problems, abuse, or broken links.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to the Graves County Jail and Restricted Custody Center, the Sheriff's Office, Kentucky Court of Justice pages, KDOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, and outside search tools. After you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not by this site's local records.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how you use the site, information may be received by these categories of recipients.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks used to support the site.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires it.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no website, server, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise that information is protected from every possible breach or misuse.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed for deletion.
