Information Sent Directly
Search Terms
A name or location entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Schley County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own end. The provider's privacy policy controls its handling after submission.
Messages and Requests
Email or contact-form messages are retained long enough to answer, keep a useful correspondence record, and address a problem. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights and safety.
Technical Data Collected
Normal web-server and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads. That information can include:
- IP address or a shortened network identifier.
- Browser name, version, language, and basic settings.
- Device type, operating system, and screen details.
- Pages visited and the time spent on each page.
- Referring page, when a browser supplies one.
- Visit timestamps and general interaction data.
Cookies
Cookies or similar local storage may help measure how visitors use the pages, remember a preference, or support a partner tool. Browser settings can block them. A blocked cookie may cause a feature to work differently or not remember a choice.
How Data Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary service and maintenance purposes:
- Keep the pages available, functional, and reasonably fast.
- Send a search request to the partner selected for that tool.
- Understand which Schley record topics visitors find useful.
- Find errors, abuse, outages, and other technical problems.
- Show advertising that may be relevant to general interests.
Links Beyond These Pages
Links lead to the Schley Sheriff, Ellaville Police, courts, Georgia Archives, the Georgia Department of Corrections, BOP, ICE, local news, and third-party services. Once a visitor leaves these pages, the destination's privacy policy and terms apply. Those organizations control their own forms, cookies, records, and retention.
Advertising partners may also measure activity across different websites for interest-based advertising. That activity occurs on their systems and is not controlled by this reference service.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to the following categories when needed to operate a feature or comply with law:
- Search partners that receive terms entered into their tools.
- Analytics and measurement providers.
- Advertising networks and their service vendors.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. No promise is made that the service, a message, or a partner transfer is breach-proof. Use care when deciding what personal information to place in a message or external request.
Visitors Under 18
These pages are intended for adults and do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent identifying information, a parent or guardian may contact the service and request that the message be deleted, subject to lawful recordkeeping needs.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of a private reference service, a person may ask about data associated with a message or interaction:
- Request a copy of information held about the requester.
- Ask for a correction to a factual error.
- Request deletion when no lawful retention reason applies.
- Object to or opt out of certain optional processing.
Requests should include enough detail to identify the relevant message or interaction without sending unnecessary sensitive information.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised when the service, law, or data practices change. The updated wording will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised policy applies going forward.
