Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, location, or similar detail into a third-party search tool, that request is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other contact message, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization except when a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site and its service providers may receive basic technical information during a visit.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, keep pages working, and measure use. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently.
How Information Is Used
- To operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- To send search requests to the correct partner provider.
- To understand which Edmonson County custody, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to general visitor interests.
Many jail, court, and corrections facts discussed on this site come from public-records and government sources, including Kentucky's Open Records Act framework in KRS 61.871 and KRS 61.872. Those public records remain controlled by the government office that maintains them.
Other Websites
This site links to Hart County Jail, Edmonson County offices, Kentucky Court of Justice pages, KY DOC KOOL, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site apply.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or show interest-based ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not in a local Edmonson County government database.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a stand-alone list. It may be handled by limited outside parties that support the site or respond to valid legal process.
- Search partners that process a query you submit.
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement, court, or government authorities when a valid subpoena, order, or other legal requirement applies.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no website, email system, analytics service, or search partner can be promised to be breach-proof. Use official government offices for sensitive custody, bond, court, and record requests.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by the site, if any.
- Request correction of inaccurate information you provided directly.
- Request deletion where retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing when an available law or partner control allows it.
Kentucky open-records law governs many records held by public agencies, but it does not make this private website the custodian of Hart County Jail, Edmonson Sheriff, court, DOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink records.
Policy Updates
This notice may be revised as the site, partner tools, advertising practices, or applicable privacy rules change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised text taking effect when published.
