Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Wayne County Criminal History does not keep or log the submitted search terms on its own system. The provider processes the entry and applies its own privacy terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent by email may be retained long enough to review and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Official record requests should be sent to the Wayne County or Tennessee office that maintains the record.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs can collect technical details when a page loads.
- Device IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page or website, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic and site function. Analytics can show aggregated patterns such as popular pages and common exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although some features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and submitted information is used only for ordinary website operations.
- Maintain performance and availability
- Route a search entry to the selected outside service
- Measure which reference pages readers use
- Diagnose errors and security problems
- Support advertising relevant to site visitors
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Wayne County Criminal History does not compile, sell, or maintain a database of personal criminal records. Its content identifies official routes such as the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, county and municipal clerks, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Tennessee Department of Correction, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report, and this private resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention rules, prices, and sharing practices govern any information sent through their tools. Review the provider's terms before submitting a search because this policy does not control that separate service.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Wayne County offices, Tennessee agencies, court portals, registries, or outside tools. Once a reader follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Advertising providers may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to the service that needs it.
- Search providers receiving a submitted query
- Analytics services measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving content
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information under this site's control. No internet service can promise absolute security. A breach, interruption, or unauthorized access may still occur despite those measures.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If information from a minor is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Tennessee's Public Records Act, TCA ยงยง10-7-503 and 10-7-504, governs access to Tennessee government records and their exceptions. It does not turn this private website into a government custodian. Rights concerning data held here depend on applicable privacy and consumer law. A visitor may ask to access, correct, delete, or limit processing of personal data when the law provides that right.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions are posted on this page and apply from the stated effective date. Reviewing the current version is the best way to see how information is handled.
