Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses Dawson County Released Inmates, why it is used, and when it may be shared. It covers partner search queries, direct messages, technical logs, cookies, advertising, and visitor choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here. Official records obtained from Georgia agencies remain governed by the originating office and applicable law, including the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70 et seq.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Entries

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on this site's systems.

Messages Sent to Us

We retain emails and contact-form messages as needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected

Normal web operations may collect the following details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate and improve site speed
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which guides visitors use
  • Detect and correct technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links may lead to Dawson County release sources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its handling of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs under the partner's practices, not this policy.


Parties Receiving Information

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search providers processing a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Practices

We use standard, reasonable safeguards. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask that eligible data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice. A changed version will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
