Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other detail entered into an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Alexander County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider handles the request under its own policy.
Emails and Other Messages
When you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Routine technical details may be recorded when a page loads. They help measure use and maintain reliable service. These details can include:
- the internet protocol address used for the visit;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- dates and timestamps tied to site activity.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support site functions. Most browsers let users delete or block cookies. Some features may work differently or be unavailable when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary operation and helps improve how the site responds. It may be used to:
- keep pages available, stable, and responsive;
- send a search request to the appropriate partner service;
- understand which topics and pages visitors find useful;
- detect, diagnose, and correct technical faults; and
- display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Outside Websites and Services
Links may lead to sheriff and detention pages, government record portals, court or corrections systems, booking resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. We do not control how an outside website collects or uses information.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, subject to their policies, rather than on systems controlled by Alexander County Recent Arrests.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on the feature used and legal requirements, information may be provided to:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Safeguarding Information
We use customary administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No website, network, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. These safeguards therefore reduce risk but cannot provide a breach-proof promise.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, contact us to request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
Rights differ by location and circumstances. Subject to applicable law, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data we hold;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- erase eligible information; or
- opt out of certain forms of processing.
A request may require enough information to verify the requester and locate the relevant data.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
