Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, birth date, or other term entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The partner processes the request and provides its result. We neither log nor retain those query terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine technical details are recorded when a page loads, including:
- 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 measure aggregate use, such as popular pages and typical exit points. Analytics vendors assist with that measurement. A browser can reject cookies, though blocking them may alter how certain 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
No database of warrants or personal warrant information is hosted, compiled, maintained, or sold here. The site publishes general directions to Wilkes County offices, including the Sheriff's Office and the courts that create or keep relevant records. Georgia has no single public statewide warrant database. Visitor information is never assembled into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the embedded search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure practices apply to information submitted there. Those practices are beyond our control, so review the provider's policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Wilkes County Sheriff's Office, court sites, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows one, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read that policy before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information 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 protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, and the possibility of unauthorized access cannot be eliminated.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such data is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Georgia privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights in addition to the access rules of the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. ยงยง50-18-70 et seq. That Act governs public agencies, not this private site. At a minimum, visitors can:
- 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
This policy may be revised as practices change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date, so visitors may return to review the current terms.
Effective date: September 10, 2026
