Information You Submit
Search forms send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the outside provider that supplies results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those queries. When you contact us, we receive the details placed in the message and use them to answer you.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. Aggregated log data helps maintain the service and shows which resources visitors use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or related technology where applicable.
How We Use the Data
The limited data described here supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and content improvement. We neither sell a visitor list nor create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to government portals, Putnam County and Tennessee offices, library collections, and outside search services. Information entered on those sites falls under their privacy rules, not this policy. The same applies to sponsored results supplied by an outside company.
Parties That Process Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatically collected data described above. We may disclose information when valid legal process requires it, but we do not otherwise share visitor data.
How We Protect Your Data
An encrypted connection serves the site. Server logs are kept only as long as the stated purposes require. Because there are no user accounts, Cookeville People Search stores no account password or personal profile.
Users Under 18
This site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Rights
The Tennessee Information Protection Act, Tenn. Code Ann. title 47, chapter 18, part 33, took effect July 1, 2025. When it applies, it can provide rights to confirm, access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of personal data and to opt out of specified processing. Because we retain very little, a request will usually involve only contact mail and server logs. Use the Contact page. Government records kept by Cookeville, Putnam County, or Tennessee remain outside our control and must be addressed with the custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Any revised policy will appear here. Using the site after an update signals acceptance of the new version.
