PRIVACY & TRANSPARENCY

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 11, 2026

This policy explains how KentuckyCrimeWatch.com, publicly branded as EKY Crime Watch, processes information when people use this website.

Public-record content

EKY Crime Watch publishes booking records and public-safety information obtained from identified public or official sources. A booking, arrest, citation, indictment, or criminal charge is not a conviction. All individuals are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Requests to correct information or ask for a hide or de-index review are free and may be submitted through the Correction Request form.

Information you provide

The Correction Request form collects your name, email address, request type, an optional related-record URL, and your message. Messages sent to our public email address may include the sender address, subject, message, attachments, and any other information the sender chooses to provide. We use this information to review and respond to the request or inquiry.

Do not send unnecessary sensitive information, including Social Security numbers, passwords, financial account details, unrelated medical records, or other sensitive documents that are not needed for review.

Information processed automatically

Normal website and hosting operations may process technical information such as an IP address, browser or device details, requested pages and URLs, timestamps, referring pages, and diagnostic, security, and server-log information. This information may be used to deliver the website, maintain reliability, diagnose problems, measure performance, and prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats.

The website may use cookies, session technologies, or local storage when needed for site functions. Advertising or analytics services may also use these technologies if they are enabled in the future.

Advertising and Google services

EKY Crime Watch may use Google AdSense or other advertising providers in the future. If Google advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website or other websites. Ads may be personalized or contextual depending on visitor choices, configuration, location, and applicable consent requirements.

Google and participating advertising partners may receive information such as the page URL, IP address, browser and device information, cookies, and other permitted identifiers for ad delivery, measurement, security, and fraud prevention. Learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites.

Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all ads; it generally changes how ads are selected. Browser cookie controls may affect website or advertising functionality.

Third-party services and links

This website links to public agencies, jails, courts, Google services, social networks, and other external websites. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Review an external service's policies before providing information to it.

Sharing and disclosure

Information may be disclosed to service providers that support website operations, when reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, to investigate fraud or abuse, to protect the rights or safety of the website or others, or for legitimate business administration. We do not sell personal information submitted through correction requests or direct contact messages for monetary consideration.

Retention and security

Submitted and technical information may be retained as reasonably necessary for operations, editorial review, security, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Public records may remain available based on editorial and public-record considerations, subject to the free review process described above.

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the website's operation, but no Internet service or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You may manage cookies through your browser, use the advertising controls linked above, submit a free correction, hide, or de-index review request, or contact us with a privacy question.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted personal information should contact us using the method below.

Regional and international consent

Advertising or analytics consent messages may be displayed where legally or contractually required. Before applicable personalized advertising is served in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another region where Google requires it, appropriate consent tooling, including a Google-certified consent management platform where required, must be configured.

Policy changes and contact

We may update this policy as the website or its services change. The date at the top will show the latest revision. Privacy questions may be sent to aarnett009@gmail.com or through the information on our Contact page.
