Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We neither log nor retain those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email you send long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Time spent on viewed pages
- A referring site, when one supplied the visit
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help analytics services combine traffic information, such as popular pages and common exit points. You may block cookies through browser settings, although doing so can change how some site features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing faults and correcting technical problems
- Operating the site and improving load performance
- Routing a search to the selected outside provider
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Our content identifies the official custodians of Thomas County records, including local courts, the sheriff, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not compiled into a consumer report or a file about another person, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure rules apply to information entered there, and we cannot control those practices. Read the provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, sheriff offices, Georgia agencies, legal-aid resources, or commercial search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across sites and select targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving page ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards protect information in our care. No internet system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may also arise under applicable Georgia consumer-protection law, including the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-390 through 10-1-407. The Georgia Open Records Act governs records held by public agencies, not data held by this private site. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for a copy of data held about you
- Opt out of eligible forms of processing
- Request deletion where the law permits it
