Sites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Bath County Sheriff's Office, RCDC roster, Kentucky Court of Justice, Kentucky Department of Corrections, federal locators, news sites, or commercial search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites for interest-based advertising.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to:
- a search provider processing a submitted query;
- analytics vendors measuring site use;
- advertising networks serving ads; or
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet transmission or connected storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise breach-proof protection.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask what personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask us to erase data where applicable.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right.
These choices concern information held by this site. Kentucky public records held by an agency are governed separately by the Kentucky Open Records Act, including KRS 61.872 and its exceptions.
Policy Revisions
We may revise this privacy policy as site practices or legal duties change. A revised policy becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
