Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other query is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Lowndes County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load or when visitors move through the site.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on each page.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, support analytics, and improve page performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and responsive.
- To send search requests to the correct outside search provider.
- To understand which Lowndes County jail, court, and facility pages are most useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitors.
Links to Other Websites
The site links to sheriff pages, jail roster systems, Georgia Department of Corrections resources, court portals, BOP and ICE locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of that outside website controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across different websites and show interest-based ads. That activity happens on the partner's platform, not as a jail or court record function of this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to these categories of recipients when needed for the site to operate or when legally required.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, so this notice does not promise that data will be immune from every unauthorized access event or technical failure.
Visitors Under 18

Your Data Rights
- Request a copy of personal information held by the site.
