Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Pickens County Released Inmates does not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method, we use the information in that message to review and respond to it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems and service providers may receive routine technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on pages.
- Referring site, if one sent the visit.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site, support advertising or analytics, and help keep pages working as expected. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- Send search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which Pickens County release-record pages are useful.
- Find errors, broken links, and performance problems.
- Show advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, court, corrections, parole, federal, registry, release-record, and third-party search resources. Once you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy notice and terms control how your data is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to understand activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled through their platforms, not through official Pickens County records systems.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed or received by limited parties needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that support ad delivery.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use ordinary security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. You should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless they are necessary for your request.
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, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- Ask that inaccurate information you supplied be corrected.
- Ask that information you submitted be deleted, subject to legal and operational limits.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.
