Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected when someone visits Magoffin County Criminal History, the reasons it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. It also explains the difference between data handled by this private site and information submitted to an outside search provider. By continuing to browse or use a feature, a visitor accepts the practices stated below. This policy applies only to this website, not to the Magoffin County, Kentucky, court, sheriff, corrections, or registry sites linked from it.

Information You Provide

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the outside company operating that feature. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

A message sent directly to the site may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the exchange. It is kept within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Information Collected Automatically

When a page loads, the server may receive routine technical and usage details about that visit:

  • Page-view dates, times, and visit duration
  • Device type and operating system
  • Browser name and version
  • The referring site, when one is reported
  • Pages opened during the visit
  • The device's assigned IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a visitor's device. They and analytics services help measure traffic, popular pages, and points where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, although some features may then work differently.

How Information Is Used

Collected data supports operation and maintenance of the site. Common uses include:

  • Finding and correcting technical faults
  • Measuring which pages are useful
  • Operating the site and improving load times
  • Sending a search request to the selected outside provider
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Database

Magoffin County Criminal History does not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It publishes general directions to the Magoffin County Sheriff, Office of Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not compiled into a third-party record or consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Outside Search Providers

Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on the site. Their privacy policies, not this policy, govern information submitted through those tools. Each provider decides how long it retains data and when it shares data. Review those terms before running a search because this site cannot control those practices.

Other Websites and Links

Links may lead to Kentucky agencies, the Magoffin County Sheriff, court resources, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.

Some advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select ads. That tracking is not controlled here.

When Information Is Shared

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • Analytics vendors measuring site use and performance
  • Advertising networks serving content on the pages
  • Search providers processing a query submitted to their tool
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand

Data Security

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for the data this site collects. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however, so the site cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.

Visitors Under 18

This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such information is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.

Your Data Choices

Kentucky's Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, concerns records held by public agencies; it does not turn this private site into a public records custodian. KRS Chapter 17 separately governs the dissemination of criminal-history information by covered Kentucky agencies. Those laws do not replace any privacy rights that apply where a visitor lives. Regardless, visitors may ask this site to take the following steps with personal data it controls:

  • Provide a copy of personal information held about the requester
  • Correct personal data that is inaccurate
  • Delete personal data when applicable
  • Stop certain forms of processing when available

Policy Changes

This policy may be revised. A new version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it from time to time.

Effective date: July 26, 2026
