Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.
Emails and Messages
When you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless law requires it.
Automatic Technical Information
A visit may produce routine log and analytics data:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring website, when available;
- date and time stamps.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can reject or remove them through browser settings, although blocking cookies may cause some functions to behave differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected information may be used to:
- operate the site and maintain performance;
- send a search request to the selected partner;
- understand which content visitors find useful;
- diagnose errors, abuse, and technical faults;
- display advertising that may reflect inferred interests.
External Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Sheriff and jail pages, booking or court systems, North Carolina corrections resources, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That processing occurs on their systems under their policies, not within our direct control.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be disclosed to:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics vendors that measure site activity;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads;
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure or immune from a breach.
