Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar detail into a search box powered by an outside provider, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the information in that message to read it and respond. We do not share message contents outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, this site may receive ordinary technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some site features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- Keep pages available, readable, and fast.
- Send search requests to the correct third-party search partner.

- Detect errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be related to visitor interests.
Other Websites and Tools
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Georgia corrections resources, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their services, not through a public Jackson County record held here.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to these categories of recipients when needed for the site to operate or when required by law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks used to support the site.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be secure. We cannot promise that information transmitted online will be immune from unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor sent information through this site, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
Your Choices and Requests
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
- Ask us to delete information when deletion is legally and technically available.
- Ask to opt out of certain uses where applicable law gives that right.
Public records controlled by Jackson County, the sheriff, courts, GDC, BOP, or ICE must be corrected through the agency that owns the record. Georgia open-records access is governed in part by O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq. and related provisions, but that law applies to government records rather than private website analytics.
Policy Updates
This notice may be updated from time to time. Any revised version will be posted on this page with the new effective content.
