Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered into a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and returns its own result. Unicoi County Warrant Records does not store or log the search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor emails the site, the message may be kept so the team can respond and maintain the correspondence. It is not shared outside the operation except when a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
A page request can create basic technical and usage records, including:
- The time and date of the page request
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- The visitor’s IP address
Cookies and Analytics
The site uses cookies, which are small files kept by a browser, and analytics tools to review overall traffic patterns. These tools help show which pages draw visits and where use stops. Browser controls can block cookies, though a few site features may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Reviewing which public-reference pages are useful
- Maintaining site speed and availability
- Forwarding a query to the search partner selected by the tool
- Finding errors and improving technical performance
- Presenting advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not keep, compile, or sell a Unicoi warrant database or person-level warrant file. It describes public access routes, including the Circuit Court Clerk, the two municipal clerks, the sheriff’s general office, and the county request portal. The Tennessee Public Records Act and Supreme Court Rule 34 apply to records held by public bodies and courts; they do not make this private site an official custodian. Visitor data is not turned into consumer reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside firms operate the search boxes. A query is governed by the selected provider’s privacy terms rather than this policy. Each provider sets its own retention and sharing practices, which this site does not control. Review those terms before submitting information to a search partner.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Unicoi County Sheriff, Tennessee courts, the TBI, federal courts, or an outside search service. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy notice and practices apply. Read that policy before providing personal details.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or select ads. Those practices are managed by the partner, not by this site.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by service providers or disclosed when the law requires it, including:
- Analytics vendors that measure visits and site operation
- Companies that receive search queries entered into their tools
- Advertising networks that serve content on site pages
- A government body when a valid legal demand requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards are used for information handled by the site. Internet-connected systems still carry risk, so no method can guarantee that data will never be exposed. The site cannot promise that an incident will not occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor has sent information to the site, contact us so the message can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Tennessee law does not create a general set of website data rights through the Tennessee Public Records Act; that law governs access to public records held by government bodies. Visitors may still send a site-level request about their own information. You can:
- Ask whether this site retains a message you sent
- Request correction of contact details in that message
- Ask that correspondence be deleted when it is no longer needed
- Ask how a search partner handles a query you submitted to its tool
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices change. A new version will be posted here with its effective date. Visitors should review it again after an update.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
