Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Emails and Other Messages
When you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and browser technologies may record limited technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is available
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block or remove them through browser settings, though doing so can cause some functions to behave differently.
How Information Supports the Site
We use collected information for limited operating and service purposes:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service
- Learning which Carroll County resource pages visitors use
- Finding errors, misuse, and other technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy Beyond Our Pages
Links may lead to Carroll County release records, sheriff or corrections pages, Georgia government portals, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to understand activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on the partner's systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to these parties when needed for their stated role:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site activity
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, so we cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If a minor submitted personal data, a parent or guardian may contact us through Contacts to request its deletion.
Choices About Your Information
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Erase personal information in appropriate circumstances
- Stop or opt out of certain processing where that choice is available
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or requirements change. An updated version becomes effective when it is posted here with a new effective date.
