Information You Submit
Search terms
A name or location entered into a sponsored search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. This site does not intentionally store or log those terms on its own systems.
Messages
Information sent by email or a contact form may be retained to answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless needed to provide the response or required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring page, and timestamps. Cookies help measure use and support site functions. Browser settings can block cookies, although parts of the site may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Data may be used to operate and secure the site, route a request to a search partner, understand useful pages, diagnose faults, and present advertising that may reflect visitor interests. We do not sell personal information.
Outside Websites
Links lead to BCSO ILS, Maryville and Alcoa Police, Blount courts, Tennessee agencies, federal locators, news archives, and outside search services. Their privacy rules govern after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising companies may measure activity across sites using systems they control.
Parties That May Receive Data
Search partners receive queries submitted to their tools. Analytics providers and advertising networks may receive technical activity. Law-enforcement or government bodies may receive information when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security and Age Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet system can be promised breach-proof. The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held directly by the site, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Those rights do not control records held by Blount County, BCSO, police departments, courts, TDOC, or linked companies.
Notice Updates
This notice may change as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted with its new effective information.
