Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other query entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not keep a separate log of those query terms on this site's systems. The provider's own privacy terms govern its receipt and use of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email or send a contact message, we retain the message and related contact details as needed to respond. We do not disclose that correspondence outside the organization unless law requires it.

Sites Run by Others
Links may lead to the Banks County Sheriff's Office, Georgia corrections agencies, public-record portals, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Advertising partners may also measure activity across sites on their own systems to select ads. We do not control those practices.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by search providers that process queries, analytics vendors, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal demand.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. A request can be sent through the Contact Us page.
