Information You Submit
A message sent through a contact channel may include a name, email address, and anything the sender chooses to write. Do not send Social Security numbers, full birth dates, account credentials, or other sensitive identifiers. Search terms entered into a third-party search box pass to that provider under its own policy; they are not government records requests submitted to KDOC, a sheriff, or a court.
Technical Data Collected
Web servers and service providers may automatically receive an IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, and general interaction data. Cookies or similar storage can remember settings, measure traffic, support advertising, and help search partners operate their tools. Browser controls may block or clear cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected data may be used to operate and secure the site, answer messages, understand which Kentucky release resources are useful, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and measure performance. It may also support advertising and third-party search functions. We do not treat a KOOL result, VINE alert, county roster, or projected release date as a guaranteed statement of current status.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to KDOC, the Kentucky Parole Board, county offices, Kentucky courts, VINE, federal locators, and other independent services. Those destinations control their own collection, cookies, security, and retention. Leaving this site means their terms and privacy notices apply.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may be provided to vendors that host or secure the site, search partners, analytics services, and advertising networks as needed for their functions. It may also be disclosed when required by a valid legal order, to protect rights or safety, to investigate misuse, or as part of a business transfer. These recipients may process data under their own terms.
Reasonable Security Measures
Administrative and technical safeguards are used on a best-effort basis, but no website or transmission method is completely secure. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal data and should use official agency channels when a Kentucky records request needs identifying information.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly seek personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contacts page to request review.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask about personal data submitted directly to this site, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser settings and industry opt-out tools can limit cookies and interest-based advertising. These choices do not alter records held by KDOC, courts, sheriffs, VINE, BOP, ICE, or search partners; requests about those records must go to the relevant custodian.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may change as services, vendors, or legal duties change. The version posted here governs current use. Continued access after an update means the revised notice applies from its posted effective period.
