Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Searches
When you type a name, place, or other term into a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party company that provides that tool. Clarke County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy policy applies to the information it receives.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details needed to answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site receives routine technical and usage details when a page loads. Those details help the service work and show where a problem may exist.
- The internet protocol address associated with the request
- The browser name and version
- The device category and operating system
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or delete cookies through its settings, though blocking them may change how some features work.
How Information Is Used
Information is used only for operating, understanding, and supporting the website and its services.
- Keep pages available and improve load performance
- Send a submitted search to the correct partner service
- Understand which Clarke County resources visitors use
- Identify faults, abuse, and technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to Clarke County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, Georgia government portals, federal locators, or outside search tools. After you follow a link, that service's privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site processing takes place on the provider's systems, not in the official records offices linked here.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be provided to these categories of recipients when needed for the stated function:
- Search partners that process a query you submit
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Safeguarding Information
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed improperly.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, contact us so a reasonable deletion request can be reviewed.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the information held, a person may ask us to take the following steps:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete personal information when deletion is required or appropriate
- Opt out of certain forms of processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site, providers, or legal requirements change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date.
