Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website signifies acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies any response; this website does not retain or log those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Routine server logs collect technical details when a page loads, including:

  • 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 and analytics services help aggregate traffic patterns, such as popular pages and exit points. A browser can refuse or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some website 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-record information is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies how to request Twiggs County material from the Sheriff's Office, court clerks, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal files, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes and apply their own privacy, retention, and sharing rules to submitted information. Review the applicable partner policy before running a query because this policy does not control that processing.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Twiggs County offices, Georgia agencies, courts, legal resources, or commercial services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's policy governs, so it should be reviewed before personal details are provided.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Information may nevertheless be available to:

  • 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 security measures protect collected data, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security or promise that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor may be requested for deletion.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law, including the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-390 et seq., may provide additional consumer rights. Subject to legal limits, a visitor may:

  • 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

Updates to This Policy

Revisions will be posted on this page and identified by a new effective date. Visitors should review the policy periodically for changes.

Effective date: July 18, 2026
