Information You Submit
Terms Sent Through Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Lowndes County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may receive technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- An internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring site, when supplied
- Date and time information
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary operation and improvement of the service. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Understand which sections readers use
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising based on likely interests
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Lowndes County offices, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy notice controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking is performed under the partner’s practices, not this site’s direct control.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. Depending on which features a visitor uses, data may be received by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Privacy Choices and Requests
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete eligible personal data
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
