Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Contact Messages
If you email us or use a contact form, the message and the contact details you provide may be kept so we can review and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Information Collected Automatically
Routine technical data may be collected when a page loads, including:
- internet protocol address or similar network identifier
- browser type, browser version, and language settings
- device category, operating system, and display information
- pages opened, paths through the site, and approximate time spent
- the referring website or search page, when available
- date and time stamps connected to site activity
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site, keep basic features working, and support advertising or analytics services. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features may not behave the same way after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- operate the site and keep pages loading properly
- send search requests to the correct outside search partner
- understand which Schley County jail and inmate-record pages are useful to visitors
- diagnose broken links, performance issues, and other technical problems
- support advertising that may be selected based on general interests or browsing activity
Other Websites and Advertising
Pages may link to the Schley County Jail page, sheriff or corrections resources, Georgia Department of Corrections tools for sentenced state prisoners, federal or ICE locators, VINELink where participation should be verified, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls its practices.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies, pixels, or similar technology to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That processing happens through their systems, not through a records database hosted here.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the site to operate or when required by law:
- search partners that process submitted lookup terms
- analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance
- advertising networks and related service providers
- law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires disclosure
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for the information handled through this site. No website, email system, analytics tool, or internet-connected service can be promised to be completely secure.
