Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those query terms on our own systems.
Messages
We retain email and contact-form messages as needed to answer them and maintain the exchange. We do not share a message outside our organization unless the sender asks us to do so or disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal web systems may record technical and usage details when a page loads, including:
- internet protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when supplied; and
- the date and time of each request.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support certain site or advertising functions. Browser controls can reject or remove them. Some features may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How We Use Data
- Operate the site and improve load speed.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which guides visitors find useful.
- Find errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
Pages link to Burke County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy and security practices govern the visit.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across sites and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems and is subject to their notices and controls.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or evaluate ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal demand.
Security Is Best Effort
We use standard administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No internet transmission, connected system, or storage method can be guaranteed breach-proof, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These rights do not give us control over records held by the Burke County Sheriff, Georgia agencies, courts, or search partners.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as our services or legal duties change. The updated text takes effect when posted here with a revised effective date.
