Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, date of birth, or other query entered in a search tool is transmitted directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers may automatically receive these technical details when a page loads:
- 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 and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help show, in aggregate, which pages are visited and where visitors leave. Analytics providers assist with that traffic analysis. You may block cookies through browser settings, although doing so can change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- 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
No Warrant Data on File
Brooks County Warrant Records does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant information. It provides general directions to the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office, the Brooks County courts, municipal courts, and relevant Georgia resources. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party dossiers.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that provider’s privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office, courts, Georgia agencies, legal-aid resources, or external search services. Once you leave this website, the destination’s privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use cross-site activity to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- 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 or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used to protect information we receive. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor submitted such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with applicable privacy and consumer-protection law. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., governs access to existing government records, not data held by this private website. At a minimum, you may:
- 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
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. Any revision will be posted here with a new effective date, so users should review this page periodically.
Effective date: September 10, 2026
