Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent directly to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal site operations can collect limited technical details when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of the request
Cookies
Cookies help measure site use and support some functions. Most browsers let you block or remove them, though a blocked cookie may change how a feature works.
How Information Is Used
Collected data is used for routine operation and improvement.
- Deliver pages and maintain performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner.
- Measure which content visitors use.
- Find and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect interests.
Links and Advertising Systems
Links may lead to Lee County records, Sheriff or NCDAC pages, court and federal portals, or commercial search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy notice controls. North Carolina public records held by government offices remain subject to applicable law, including Chapter 132, rather than this policy.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across sites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems under their rules.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site activity
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Is Best Effort
We use ordinary safeguards suited to a public website. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed fully secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Ask that eligible information be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
These requests concern data held by this private site. A request about a Lee County, NCDAC, court, BOP, or ICE record must go to that government custodian.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as services or legal duties change. A revision takes effect when the updated text and effective date are posted here.
