Information You Submit
A name, county, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its handling after submission.
If you send an email or other contact message, the information in it may be kept long enough to read and answer the request. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless that is needed to respond, operate the site, or comply with a legal duty.
Technical Data Collected
Routine server, analytics, or advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- the internet protocol address used for the request;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and remember basic settings. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though some features or partner services may then behave differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected information may be used to:
- operate pages and keep them responsive;
- send a search request to the selected partner;
- measure which content readers use;
- diagnose errors and security issues; and
- display advertising that may reflect interests.
Sites Reached by Links
Links lead to Craven County, sheriff, NCDAC, court, release-record, federal, notification, and third-party search resources. Once a reader leaves this site, the destination's privacy notice and terms apply. This site does not control those systems.
Some advertising providers may use cookies or other identifiers to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That processing occurs on the provider's systems under its own policy.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a list. It may be received by service providers that perform a stated function, including:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure visits;
- advertising networks that deliver or measure ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under this site's control. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed breach-proof. Users should avoid sending sensitive personal details that are not needed for a message.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the information held and applicable law, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data held by this site;
- correct information that is wrong;
- delete personal data that need not be retained; or
- opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
Requests should identify the relevant contact or interaction without sending unnecessary identification documents. This policy does not create access rights to government records; North Carolina official-record access is governed separately, including by Chapter 132.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as services or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
