Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Pickens County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is passed along.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic and improve page behavior. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available and responsive.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Pickens County record pages are useful to visitors.
- To identify and repair technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be more relevant to visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to the Pickens Sheriff's Office, JailTracker, NextRequest, the Pickens County Clerk of Court, Georgia Department of Corrections tools, federal locators, VINELink, and outside search providers. Once a visitor follows those links, the other site's privacy rules control that activity.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or tailor ads across websites. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a county agency or by Georgia's open-records process under O.C.G.A. 50-18-71.

Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be available to the following parties when needed for the site's operation or required by law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
