Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a search box powered by a partner service, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Forsyth County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical details when pages load or when a visitor moves through the site.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, measure page use, support advertising, and improve reliability. You can block cookies through browser settings, although some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- Operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- Send search requests to the partner tool selected by the visitor.
- Understand which Forsyth County jail, court, and custody pages are useful.
- Find technical problems, broken links, or performance issues.
- Support advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outbound Links and Partner Sites
This site links to jail information pages, sheriff records resources, the Forsyth County JustFOIA portal, Georgia Department of Corrections, BOP, ICE ODLS, VINELink, court resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for measurement or targeted advertising. That tracking is handled by those providers, not by a Forsyth County government office or this site's own record system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information connected with use of this site may still be available to limited recipients when needed for ordinary operations or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that support ads or related measurement.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
Security
We use reasonable, standard safeguards for a public website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof storage, transmission, or access control.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information through this site, contact us so the issue can be reviewed and the information can be deleted where appropriate.
