Information You Enter
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other details typed into a sponsored search tool are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep its own stored log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or submit a message to us, the information in that message is kept so we can review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement, such as a subpoena or court order, requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard technical information may be collected when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage and improve performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.

Other Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Georgia Department of Corrections resources, BOP, ICE, VINELink, court portals, and third-party search providers. Official Georgia records may be governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., and records exceptions such as O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72.
