Cocke County Privacy Notice

This notice describes what data may pass through Cocke County Released Inmates, why it is used, and what choices visitors have. Effective August 2, 2026.

Information You Choose to Send

A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. If you send an email or contact message, we retain the message and return address as needed to respond. Contact messages are not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Routine technical information may be recorded when a page loads. It helps measure use and keep the service working.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies may help show how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or remove them, though a search, advertising, or preference feature may then act differently.


How Data Supports the Site

Collected data is used for limited operating purposes:

  • Keeping pages available and responsive
  • Sending a search to the selected partner
  • Learning which Cocke County topics help visitors
  • Detecting errors and fixing technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links lead to the Cocke County Sheriff, courts, Tennessee corrections sources, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy rules control. Advertising partners may use their own technology to understand activity across sites and select ads. That processing takes place on their systems.


Limited Data Sharing

Personal data is not sold. It may be provided only where necessary to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or public bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Has Practical Limits

Reasonable safeguards are used for data under the site's control. No internet service, device, network, or storage system can be promised as breach-proof, however. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details that are not needed for a reply.


Adults Only

This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and identity verification, a person may ask for:

  • A copy of personal data held by the site
  • Correction of inaccurate submitted information
  • Deletion of eligible personal data
  • An opt-out from certain processing where available

Changes to This Notice

Privacy practices may change as technology or site operations change. A revised notice will appear on this page with a new effective date.
