Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, place, or other detail into a search box, that query passes to the independent provider operating the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms control its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.

Cookie Use
Cookies may help us understand how visitors move through the site. You can block cookies through browser settings, though some functions may then work differently.
Purposes for Using Data
Collected information supports the site’s operation and helps route requests to the appropriate service.

Services Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Franklin County records pages, Georgia corrections services, government portals, and independent search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination’s own privacy policy applies.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under their controls, not this site’s.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by limited parties that support or lawfully oversee site activity.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to an informational website. No service connected to the internet can promise perfect security, so we cannot guarantee that data will never be exposed, intercepted, or misused.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
