Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you enter a name or other details into a search widget, the information is sent to the third-party service identified by that widget. That provider processes the query under its own terms and privacy practices. We do not control its retention, matching, or use of information submitted there.
Messages and Contact Submissions
The Contact page is a directory of public offices; this site does not provide a message form or accept a warrant submission. If you use an outside office's email or contact route, the receiving office's privacy notice applies.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting, security, or analytics providers may receive technical details when a browser loads a page. Depending on their settings, these can include:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Search, advertising, analytics, and hosting services may use cookies or similar browser storage. Their own systems control those tools and their retention practices. Browser settings can restrict some cookies, but an outside search or embedded service may behave differently when storage is blocked.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Loading the site's local information pages
- Sending a search-widget query to the provider that operates it
- Supporting basic hosting, security, and performance operations
- Displaying sponsored search results or advertisements supplied by partners
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host court files, compile a warrant roster, or maintain a personal warrant-search database. It explains where Cocke County records may be found through the courts, municipalities, and Sheriff's Office. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Information visitors submit to an outside search partner is handled under that partner's policy rather than stored as a Cocke County case record here.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to sheriff's office pages, court portals, statewide warrant systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Hosting and service providers apply their own security measures to systems they operate. No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed secure, and this site cannot promise that an outside partner will never experience a security incident. Avoid entering information into a third-party search unless you have reviewed its terms.
Users Under 18
This reference site is not designed to solicit information from minors. No visitor account or warrant-submission form is offered. A third-party service linked or embedded on a page may have separate age limits and privacy terms.
Your Data Rights
Privacy rights depend on the law that applies to a particular service and visitor. The Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 10-7-501 et seq., governs access to existing records held by public offices; it does not provide access to this private website's hosting logs. To request a government record, contact the agency that maintains it and identify the record sought.
- Review the privacy terms of the search or advertising provider before using its service
- Use browser controls to limit some cookies or stored data
- Direct requests for court, police, or city records to the public office that keeps them
Updates to This Policy
We may change this privacy policy down the road. When we do, the updated version goes up on this page with a new effective date. Check back if you want to keep tabs on how we handle your information.
