Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Search boxes are operated by outside providers. A name or other detail entered there is sent to that provider for processing under its own service and privacy terms. Giles County Warrant Records does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email the site, we retain the message as needed to respond and handle the request. We do not share it outside the organization unless law or a valid legal demand requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a browser requests a page, routine server logs may record technical details such as:
- The time of a page request
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- The pages opened and time spent on them
- Your device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- Your device’s IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files a browser can save on your device. We use them and analytics tools to review overall traffic, such as which pages are used most. Browser controls let you block or clear cookies; some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Measure page use and decide what information needs improvement
- Maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the site
- Send a visitor’s search entry to the provider operating that tool
- Support advertising displayed on the pages
No Warrant Data on File
Giles County Warrant Records does not host, compile, or sell a database of warrants or person-level warrant files. It provides general directions to the Circuit Court Clerk, Sheriff, city courts, and records-request process. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information entered there is subject to the provider’s privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices. We do not control those practices. Review the provider’s terms before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff and court pages, state agencies, legal services, or commercial search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Read them before sharing personal information.
Some advertising companies may use their own tools to recognize activity across sites. Those tools are outside our control.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- Advertising networks serving page ads
- Analytics providers measuring site performance
- Search companies receiving entries made in their tools
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable safeguards for information under our control. No online system can be guaranteed free from every attack or failure, so we cannot promise that a security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information may contact us to request review and deletion.
Your Data Rights
The Tennessee Public Records Act governs access to records held by public agencies; it does not create access rights to private visitor data held by this site. Visitors may contact us to ask what information they submitted directly, request a correction, or ask us to delete a message, subject to legal or operational retention duties.
- Ask whether a direct message is still retained
- Request a correction to information you provided
- Ask for deletion where retention is not required
