Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained as needed to answer it. The message remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may collect routine technical information about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help show how visitors move through the resource, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics services combine that traffic information. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing search requests to the selected partner
- Maintaining reliable and responsive pages
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Understanding which information visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal-record information is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The published material identifies how to reach Cheatham County record custodians, the courts, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, 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 third-party criminal record.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each partner controls its own retention and sharing rules, so review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Cheatham County sheriff, court resources, Tennessee agencies, legal resources, or third-party tools. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the destination's privacy rules control. Those rules should be read before personal information is submitted.
Advertising companies may use activity across websites to choose targeted ads. Their own systems perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet system is completely secure, so absolute protection or a guarantee against every breach cannot be offered.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted when an appropriate request is received.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Tennessee law may provide rights beyond this policy. The Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §§10-7-501 through 10-7-506, governs access to government records rather than visitor data held here. Tenn. Code Ann. §38-6-120 addresses TBI criminal-history dissemination. Visitors may still:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A changed version will appear here with its new effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
