Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a name, county, or other lookup detail is entered into a search tool, that request may be 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 a visitor sends an email or contact message, the submitted information is used to review and answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be recorded when pages load, including details that help operate, secure, and improve the site.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies

How Information Is Used

Outside Links
This site links to sheriff pages, jail resources, GDC Offender Query, court portals, BOP, ICE ODLS, VINELink, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the linked website's own privacy practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and present targeted advertising. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Chattooga County government office.
