Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a search box, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Heard County Inmate Population does not keep those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization except when a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Automatic Data
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring site, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, improve performance, and support advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently when they are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Keep the site available and responsive.
- Send search requests to the right partner service.
- Understand which pages are useful to visitors.
- Find and repair technical problems.
- Display ads that may be more relevant to visitors.
Outside Links
Pages may link to sheriff offices, jail resources, Georgia courts, state corrections, federal locators, immigration tools, legal sources, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that site's own privacy policy and terms apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That processing occurs through those partners, not through a county jail or government agency.

Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be available to limited service providers or legal authorities in these situations.
- Search partners that process submitted search terms.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information connected with the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no transmission or storage method is perfectly secure.
