Information Submitted Directly
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search widget is transmitted to the outside provider that operates that widget. The site does not maintain a separate log of those terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends a message, the submitted contact details and message may be retained to respond or maintain the communication record. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Like most websites, the service and its providers may collect ordinary technical information when a page is loaded.
- Internet protocol address and approximate network information.
- Browser type, browser version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages requested, time spent, referring page, and timestamps.
- Diagnostic information used to keep the site operating.
Cookies
Cookies and comparable technologies can help measure how the site is used and support advertising or analytics functions. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some features may work differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, route a search to the provider selected by the widget, understand page usefulness, diagnose technical problems, and display advertising that may be based on interests. It is not used to operate an official Stewart County record system.
Other Websites and Providers
This site links to government portals, jail and booking views, court pages, state and federal locators, and other resources. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination’s privacy practices apply. Advertising and search providers may use their own cookies or comparable technology on their systems. Review their notices before submitting information.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It can be processed by search providers handling a submitted query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, technical service providers, or government authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise absolute security. Do not send sensitive records, identity documents, or urgent government requests through a general site message.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, they may request deletion through the site operator’s available communication route.
Choices About Personal Information
Subject to applicable law and the limits of available data, a visitor may ask what information is held about a direct message, request correction of inaccurate message details, ask for deletion, or object to certain processing. The site cannot alter a Sheriff’s Office, court, TDOC, search-provider, or other outside record through such a request.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may change as the site or its providers change. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date when appropriate.
