Douglas County Privacy Notice

This notice describes how Douglas County Released Inmates handles information when visitors browse pages, use a partner search tool, or send a message. It also explains cookies, routine technical logs, sharing, security limits, and choices available to users.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other query entered into a search tool passes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own system.

An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer it. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, the service may receive basic technical details during a page visit:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring site, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies help measure site use. Visitors can block cookies through browser controls, though some functions may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

Collected data supports a limited set of operational purposes:

  • Keeping pages available and responsive
  • Sending a search request to the selected partner
  • Learning which resources visitors use
  • Finding and correcting technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to Douglas County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or third-party tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy applies. Advertising partners may track activity across websites on their own systems for targeted advertising.


Possible Data Recipients

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may reach:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring site traffic
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Limits

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used, but no internet system can be promised as fully secure or breach-proof.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a user may ask for a copy of personal data held, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Georgia public records held by agencies are governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., not by this private site’s deletion process.


Notice Updates

This notice may change as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted with its new effective date.
