Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and handling of the query.
Messages
If you email us or use a contact method, we retain the message and reply details as needed to answer. We do not share a contact message outside our organization unless doing so is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Ordinary web systems may record technical and usage details when a page loads. These details help operate and assess the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser storage may help measure how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some site or partner functions may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected information supports normal operation and improvement. Uses may include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service
- Learning which Gordon County resources visitors use
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to Gordon County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, Georgia government portals, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you follow a link, that operator's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to understand activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's systems, not as a Gordon County jail or government record held by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards suited to a public reference site. No internet transmission, server, or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use Contact Us to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask for a copy of personal information we hold, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. A request does not control data held independently by the Gordon County Sheriff's Office, Georgia agencies, BOP, ICE, or a search partner. Contact the actual custodian for those records.
Notice Updates
We may revise this privacy notice as services or legal requirements change. A new version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date. Continued use after posting is governed by the revised notice.
