Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return contact details may be kept long enough to review and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data Collected
Like most public websites, this site may collect basic technical information when pages load. That data helps measure use, maintain the site, and diagnose errors.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic and improve performance. A browser can block or delete cookies, though some tools, ads, or measurement features may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Rabun County record pages are useful to visitors.
- To find broken links, errors, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Links
This site links to sheriff pages, court portals, jail and corrections resources, statewide locators, federal tools, and third-party search providers. After a visitor follows an outside link, that site's own privacy notice and terms control the data collected there.
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar tools to measure ads or tailor ads across websites. That activity occurs through the partner's systems, not through records stored by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be processed by limited service providers or disclosed where the law requires it.
- Search partners that process search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof storage or transmission.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, a parent or guardian may request review and deletion.
Your Data Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by the site.
- Ask to correct information that is wrong.

- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right.
