Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Whitley County Inmate Population does not maintain its own jail database and does not store those search terms in a local records system.
Messages Sent to Us
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, we use the submitted information to read and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside the organization except when required by law or a valid legal order.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site, keep features working, and support analytics or advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some parts of the site or partner tools may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To pass search requests to the appropriate third-party search provider.
- To understand which Whitley County jail, roster, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Outside Websites and Their Policies
This site links to resources such as the Whitley County Fiscal Court detention page, the Whitley County Sheriff's Department, the sheriff open-records information page, the Whitley County inmate portal, KOOL, VINELink, and Kentucky Court of Justice pages. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site control.
Advertising partners and other third parties may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure activity across websites or show interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not through a Whitley County government records system operated by this site.

We do not sell personal information as a stand-alone data product. Information may be available to the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process name or location queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure site traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal obligation requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small public-information website, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be fully secure. Visitors should not assume that any website, email message, or partner tool is immune from unauthorized access or technical failure.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information through the site, a parent or guardian may ask that it be reviewed for deletion.
