Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name, place, or other record-search term into one of the search tools on our site, that input goes to the third-party provider that runs the search. They process it and return results. We do not operate Kentucky Court of Justice portals, the Bath County Circuit Court Clerk, the Bath County County Clerk, KOOL, VINE, or any official Bath County government database.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send us an email or submit a message, we keep that message so we can reply. Your message stays within our team unless a legal obligation requires disclosure. Do not send court filings, Social Security numbers, payment card data, sealed records, juvenile information, or medical information through a private website message.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers and service providers may collect technical details about the visit:
- 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
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that help us understand traffic patterns, page use, and ad performance. Your browser settings let you block cookies. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the Bath County reference pages up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending search requests to the right partner service when you use a sponsored search tool
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need updates
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to Kentucky Court of Justice portals, Bath County offices, Kentucky state agencies, legal forms, open-records pages, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, the other site's privacy policy controls your visit.
Kentucky public-records access is governed by laws and rules such as KRS 61.870, KRS Chapter 61, and court confidentiality rules. Those laws govern official agencies, not this private site, but they explain why official record custodians may redact or restrict some information.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run through sponsored search boxes
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be secure. We work to protect information in our control, but we cannot promise that a breach, outage, or third-party service failure will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. Kentucky juvenile court records are also restricted under laws such as KRS 610.340, so minors' court information should not be sent to this private site.
Your Data Rights
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data when we are legally able to do so
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing where applicable
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 track of how Bath County Court Records handles information.
