Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or other search detail into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Oconee County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own servers.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads, including:
- Your IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps connected with visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and which pages are useful. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently after blocking them.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service when a visitor uses a search box.
- To understand which Oconee County jail, roster, and court-record pages are most helpful.
- To diagnose broken pages, loading issues, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Georgia Department of Corrections resources, federal locators, court portals, vendor services, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of that outside website control your use there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by an Oconee County government office or this site as an official record system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be shared with limited categories of recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure site performance and usage.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small informational website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise that information sent online will be protected from every possible breach or misuse.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information through the site, contact us so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Choices
- You may ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- You may ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
- You may request deletion of personal data where applicable.
- You may opt out of certain processing when the law gives you that right.
Notice Updates
This privacy notice may be revised from time to time. Updated language will be posted on this page with a new effective date when changes are made.
