Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other search detail into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Franklin County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, if one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and keep the site functioning properly. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or measurements may work differently after blocking them.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Franklin County jail, court, and locator pages are useful.
- To detect errors, broken links, abuse, or other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Other Websites and Services
This site links to sheriff pages, Georgia Department of Corrections resources, BOP and ICE locator tools, court portals, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy practices of the outside website or service control your use there.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. That activity takes place on their systems, not in an official Franklin County record system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to limited parties when needed for site operation or legal compliance:
- Search partners that process a visitor's search query.
- Analytics providers used to measure site performance and usage.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies if a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public reference website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, so this notice does not promise that unauthorized access or data loss can never occur.
