Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data handled by Cherokee County Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. No account is required, and the site does not host public records about Cherokee County residents. It serves as a reference to records and collections held by Georgia custodians.

Data You Give Us Directly

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain those searches. A direct message contains only the details you choose to send, which are used to answer it.


Data We Gather Automatically

Routine hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. Aggregated data helps diagnose faults and measure general use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or similar technology.


What We Do With This Data

These limited data support site operation, fault repair, traffic measurement, and content improvement. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links lead to Cherokee County and Georgia portals, libraries, archives, and outside search tools. Information submitted after leaving the site is governed by that destination's policy. Sponsored search results are likewise supplied by an outside company.


Who Might See Your Data

The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.


How We Protect Your Data

The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.


Users Under 18

The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Data Rights

Rights to access, correct, or delete site-held personal data may depend on where you live. No broad Georgia omnibus consumer-privacy deletion law was verified. Because little data is retained here, a request normally involves checking contact mail and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Georgia, Cherokee County, or municipal offices remain under the custodian's control. Safe at Home protections under O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-150 through 50-18-155 and redactions under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 must be addressed with the relevant agency.


Updates to This Policy

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
