Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes the information Chattahoochee County Released Inmates receives when people browse, use a search tool, or send a message. It also explains why data may be used, the limited situations in which it may be shared, and the choices available to a visitor. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described here. A linked government office, records portal, advertising service, or search provider follows its own privacy terms once you leave this site or submit information to that service.

Information You Submit

Queries Entered in Search Tools

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the search service. Chattahoochee County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The receiving provider may collect and process the query under its separate privacy policy, so review that policy before submitting sensitive details.

Emails and Contact Messages

When you email or submit a contact message, we retain the message and the contact details supplied with it so we can read and answer the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a valid government demand. Do not send social security numbers, account credentials, medical details, or other data that is not needed for the question.

Technical Data Collected Automatically

Basic technical and usage records may be created when a page loads. They help operate the site, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and understand how visitors reach Chattahoochee County release-record resources. The records may include:

  • The internet protocol address used for the request
  • Browser name, browser version, and language settings
  • Device category, operating system, and screen characteristics
  • Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on them
  • The referring website or link, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps connected with visits and requests

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies may be used to measure site use, remember basic preferences, and support advertising or analytics functions. Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies. If cookies are disabled, some features may work differently or may not retain a preference between visits. Advertising and analytics providers may also place or read cookies through their own systems.

Reasons We Use Data

Information collected through the site is used only for ordinary operation, communication, measurement, and service delivery. In particular, it may be used to:

  • Keep pages available, responsive, and secure
  • Send a search request to the selected partner service
  • Measure which Chattahoochee County resource pages help visitors
  • Detect errors, abuse, and other technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect general visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links may lead to the Chattahoochee County Sheriff's Office, Georgia Department of Corrections, parole or probation resources, federal or ICE locators, court portals, release-record sources, and outside search tools. Those destinations control their own content and data practices. Their privacy notices apply after you click a link or submit data there. Official records access may also be governed by Georgia law, including the Open Records Act procedures in O.C.G.A. ยง 50-18-71.

Some advertising partners may use cookies or comparable technology to follow activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking takes place on the partner's systems, not in a Chattahoochee County government record or in a search-term log kept by this site. Use browser or provider controls to manage those preferences.

Parties Receiving Limited Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be provided to a limited group when needed to run the site, fulfill a requested action, measure use, display advertising, or comply with law:

  • Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
  • Analytics services that measure traffic and page performance
  • Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Our Security Approach

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. Even careful security cannot make an internet-connected website or transmission fully safe. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, accessed without permission, or exposed in a breach. Visitors should limit what they submit and use the official agency channel when a request requires sensitive personal information.

Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent personal information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion. We will take reasonable steps to remove information under our control after the request is verified.

Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data held by this site, you may ask to exercise the following choices:

  • Receive a copy of personal information we hold about you
  • Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Request deletion of information that may lawfully be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where an opt-out right applies

These choices cover information controlled by this site. A sheriff, court, GDC, DCS, BOP, ICE, search provider, analytics service, or ad network controls its own records and must receive requests about data held on its systems.

Changes to This Notice

This Privacy Notice may be revised as the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here and will show a new effective date where appropriate. Continued use after posting means the updated notice applies to later activity.
