Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and any contact details you provide may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data each time a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Browser name, settings, and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when a browser sends it.
- Date and time stamps connected to visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the page.
- To understand which Fannin County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, security events, and performance issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sources such as the Fannin County Sheriff's Office, the Fannin County Adult Detention Center, county court pages, Georgia Department of Corrections tools, federal locators, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy practices of the destination website control your use of that service.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Fannin County government office or by this site's local content pages.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by the following parties when needed for the site to operate or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so this notice does not promise that data can never be accessed, lost, or misused.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.
Your Choices and Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by the site.
- Request correction of information you believe is wrong.
- Ask that personal information be deleted where deletion is legally and technically available.
- Opt out of certain processing, including some advertising or analytics uses.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be updated as the site, vendors, or legal requirements change. Revisions will be posted on this page with a new effective date when one is provided. Georgia public-record access is generally governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq., but official government records remain with the agencies that created them.
