Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a site search tool is transmitted directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and delivers its results; we do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email sent to us as needed to answer it. The message remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive technical information when a page loads, including:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Time spent on individual pages
- The referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies stored on a visitor's device help measure traffic, popular pages, and exit patterns. Analytics providers aggregate that usage information. You may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a submitted query to the appropriate search provider
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Understanding which pages visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to approach the Quitman County Sheriff, local courts, GBI's Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry for official information. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party criminal-history files.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the site's search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure rules govern data entered into those tools, and we do not control those practices. Read the applicable provider policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Quitman County government, Georgia agencies, court portals, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you follow an external link, that operator's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites and personalize ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and site performance
- Search partners processing queries submitted through their tools
- Advertising networks serving ads on the site
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard safeguards for information in our possession, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure. Reasonable protections reduce risk without eliminating the possibility of unauthorized access.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary by residence and applicable law. Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act, O.C.G.A. §§10-1-390 through 10-1-407, may apply to certain consumer practices; the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§50-18-70 through 50-18-77, governs access to records held by public agencies rather than this private site. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Request deletion where the law permits it
- Opt out of processing where an applicable law provides that choice
