Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other query into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.

Outside Websites
This site links to Fulton County jail resources, sheriff and court pages, Kentucky Department of Corrections tools, federal locators, KRS open-records materials, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is collected and used.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking happens through their technology, not through a county government system operated here.
