Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Thomas County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to answer and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load. That data helps operate the site and understand general use patterns.
- The IP address used for the visit.
- The browser type and browser version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Dates and times connected to page activity.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics features. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although parts of the site or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages loading and functioning reliably.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Thomas County jail, court, and locator pages visitors use most.
- To detect errors, broken links, security issues, or performance problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Links That Leave This Site
Pages may link to the Thomas County Sheriff's Office roster, Thomas County court pages, Georgia Department of Corrections resources, VINELink, federal locators, advertising partners, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's own privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled on their systems, not by Thomas County Inmate Population as a government record source.
