Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into one of the search tools on our site, that input goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the search. They process it and return results. We do not store or log the search terms you enter on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email or submit a message through any available contact channel, that message may be kept so a response can be made. A message is not an official Georgia Open Records Act request to Chattahoochee County, the Clerk of Superior Court, Probate Court, the Sheriff's Office, GSCCCA, Georgia DPH, GDC, DDS, or any court.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that let us see how visitors use the site - which Chattahoochee County record pages get the most traffic and where people tend to drop off. Your browser settings let you block cookies whenever you want. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending search requests to the right partner service when a third-party search box is used
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to court portals, government agency pages, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools, including resources for Georgia courts, GSCCCA, Georgia DPH, GDC, DDS, federal PACER, and Chattahoochee County offices. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order or applicable law requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is perfectly secure. Public-record research may involve sensitive information, so do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, driver's-license images, medical details, or sealed-case information to a private website.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. Juvenile court records in Georgia are subject to confidentiality rules and should be requested only through the proper court or authorized government process.
Your Data Rights
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Georgia public records are governed separately from this website's private data practices. Official Georgia records access may involve the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq., request procedures and fees under O.C.G.A. 50-18-71, and criminal-history record restriction under O.C.G.A. 35-3-37.
Updates to This Policy
We may change this privacy policy as the Chattahoochee County Court Records site, third-party search tools, or applicable Georgia and federal requirements change. When we do, the updated version goes up on this page with a new effective date.
