Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool passes directly to the outside provider that operates it. That company processes the query and supplies any result. Search terms are not logged or retained by this site.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and manage the correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can create routine technical records such as:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand aggregate traffic, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers help summarize that activity. A browser can reject cookies, although doing so may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal records is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The site publishes general directions to Ben Hill County custodians, local courts, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's GCIC repository, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party profiles or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their own privacy terms control the data entered there, including retention and sharing choices beyond this site's control. Review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, sheriff pages, Georgia agencies, legal-aid resources, or private tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards protect collected data. No internet system is completely secure, so absolute protection or freedom from a breach cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A report that a minor supplied data will be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Georgia law, including the Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 through 50-18-77 and criminal-history dissemination rules in O.C.G.A. § 35-3-34, governs official records held by public custodians. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government records office. Subject to applicable law, visitors can:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
