Information You Submit
Search terms
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

An email or contact-form message is retained as needed to answer the sender. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data

Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete them, though some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected information supports the site's normal operation and improvement.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send searches to the selected partner tool
- Understand which resources visitors use
- Diagnose and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Links and Advertising
Links may lead to the Covington County Jail, sheriff and police pages, court or corrections portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may measure activity across different sites to select ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not in a Covington County government record.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be provided to these recipients when needed:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks serving or assessing ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or storage system can be promised to be fully secure or immune from a breach.
