Information Visitors Provide
Search entries
Words entered into a search box are sent to the outside provider that supplies the search results. Those queries are not stored as official records here, and the provider’s own privacy terms govern its handling of them.
Messages
If a visitor sends a message, the site receives the contact details and text supplied. That information is used to answer the request and maintain necessary correspondence. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Web systems may automatically record routine details during a visit, including:
- IP address
- browser name and version
- device type and operating system
- pages viewed and time spent
- referring page, when available
- visit timestamps
Cookies help measure how people use the site. A browser can reject or remove them, though some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected information supports the operation of this reference and its search connections:
- keeping pages available and responsive
- sending queries to the selected search partner
- understanding which material visitors use
- diagnosing errors and security concerns
- displaying advertising that may reflect interests
Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Alexander County inmate catalog, Sheriff pages, court tools, NCDAC resources, federal locators, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Advertising companies may also measure activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based ads.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be shared with search partners that process a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Reasonable Security Measures
Common safeguards are used to protect information. No online service can promise that unauthorized access, loss, or misuse will never happen, so the site does not claim to be breach-proof.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, seek correction of inaccurate data, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. A request may require enough information to verify the requester and locate the data.
Changes to This Notice
This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
