Privacy Policy

This policy describes the data Athens People Search may collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. Our collection is limited. The site serves as a reference for locating public records in Athens, Georgia. It does not require a user account or host government records about you.

Information You Submit

Search forms send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details you choose to send and use them only to answer your message.


Information Collected Automatically

Our hosting systems create standard logs that can include an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review aggregated data to maintain the site and learn which pages are useful. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.


How We Use Data

The data described above helps us run the site, diagnose errors, measure visits, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Athens-Clarke County and Georgia portals, library collections, or third-party search services. Data submitted on an outside site falls under that site's privacy policy, not ours. The same rule applies to sponsored search results supplied by a third-party company.


Who May Receive Data

Service providers that host and support this site process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We will disclose data if a valid legal process requires it. We do not otherwise share visitor data.


How Data Is Protected

The site uses an encrypted connection, and server logs are kept only as long as needed for the purposes stated above. Because no user accounts are offered, this site holds no account password or user profile for an attacker to obtain.


Users Under 18

This site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Data Rights

Your place of residence may give you rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. The research supporting this site did not identify a broad Georgia consumer privacy law that creates a general deletion right. Georgia's information-broker breach provision, O.C.G.A. ยง10-1-912, is not a universal deletion statute. Because we retain little data, we can check our contact mailbox and available server logs and remove what we control when appropriate. Use the Contact page to submit a request. Public records held by Athens-Clarke County or Georgia offices remain outside our control, so requests concerning those records must go to the custodian.


Updates to This Policy

Any revised policy will appear on this page. By continuing to use the site after an update, you accept the new version.
