Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, or other search detail into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own 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 review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and improve performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some site features or partner tools may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available and responsive.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Elbert County record pages are most useful.
- To detect errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
External Websites
This site links to sheriff pages such as elbertcosheriff.com, open-records details at elbertcosheriff.com/contact/, the sheriff-linked roster at offenderindex.com/elbertcoga, Georgia corrections and court portals, federal locators, ICE resources, VINELink, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That processing occurs through those partners, not through an official Elbert County or Georgia agency.

- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires a response.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled through this site. No internet-connected website, email system, ad network, or search partner can be promised as completely secure.
