Information That May Arrive
A search query entered into a third-party search box is passed to that provider. A message sent through a contact channel may include the sender’s name, email address, message text, and any details the sender chooses to include. Ordinary technical data can also be received, such as an IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location, referring page, and time of access.
Cookies or similar tools may remember settings, measure visits, support security, or help an advertising or analytics partner understand how pages are used. The site does not host official jail rosters, booking photos, arrest records, or court files.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate pages, answer messages, maintain security, understand traffic, improve content, manage referral relationships, and connect a visitor with a requested search provider. Search partners, analytics vendors, ad networks, hosting providers, and technical contractors may receive information needed for those functions. Law enforcement or another authority may receive information when disclosure is required by a valid legal order or applicable law.
Outside Sites and Providers
Links to the Dare County Sheriff, Detention Center, municipal police, North Carolina courts, NCDAC, BOP, ICE, news outlets, and other services leave this resource. Their forms, cookies, security practices, retention periods, and privacy notices are controlled by them. Review the policy of an outside provider before entering a search or contact detail.
Security and Retention
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no online transmission or storage system is guaranteed secure. Information is kept only as needed for the purpose collected, legal duties, dispute handling, security, or ordinary business records. A third-party provider may retain a query under its own policy.
Children and User Choices
This resource is not intended for anyone under 18. Do not send a child’s protected information through a form. Depending on the visitor’s location and applicable law, a person may ask about access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to certain personal data uses. Requests can be sent through the Contact page. Identity may need to be verified, and some records must be retained by law.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised when the services, laws, or data practices change. The revised version becomes effective when posted. Continued use after an update means the updated notice is available for review.
