Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a search box operated by an outside provider, the query goes directly to that provider. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the contents and reply information as needed to answer it. We do not disclose that message outside our organization unless the law requires us to do so.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics systems can record basic details when a page loads. Those details may include:
- Your internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support other features. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although parts of the site may then work differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected data is used for a limited set of operational purposes.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which Oconee County topics visitors use
- Detect faults and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Oconee County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or private search providers. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms apply.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across multiple websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems rather than ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be processed by a small number of service and legal recipients.
- Search providers that handle a submitted query
- Services used to measure site traffic
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to protect site and message data. No internet service can be made entirely secure, however, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is meant for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may contact us to request its deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may make the following requests:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct data that is inaccurate
- Request deletion of personal data
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site or its services change. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
