Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you use Tift County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using this site, you accept these privacy practices.

Information You Choose to Send

Search Terms

When you type a name, county, or other search term into a third-party search tool shown on this site, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Tift County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.

Messages

If you send an email or message connected to this site, we may keep the message long enough to read it, respond, and handle the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads.

  • IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when a browser provides it.
  • Date and time of visits.

Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand how people use the site, maintain basic functionality, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure or deliver ads. You can block cookies in your browser, although some features may behave differently.


How Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
  • To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
  • To understand which Tift County jail, court, GDC, BOP, ICE, VINE, and records pages are useful.
  • To diagnose broken links, errors, and performance issues.
  • To display advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.

Outside Websites and Public Records

This site links to sheriff pages, the OffenderIndex roster, Georgia court and corrections portals, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and other outside resources. Those sites set their own privacy rules once you leave this site. Some records obtained from official agencies may also be governed by Georgia public-records law, including the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. 50-18-70, and separate rules for booking photographs.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize browsers across websites for ad measurement or interest-based ads. Their privacy policies, not this notice, explain those practices.


Who May Receive Information

We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. Information may be available to these parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers used to measure traffic and errors.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or similar legal process requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access, interruption, or data loss will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information through the site, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Choices

  • Ask what information connected to you is held by the site.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information you provided.
  • Ask for deletion where deletion is legally and technically available.
