Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when a person uses Davidson County Released Inmates, why that information may be used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. It also describes outside links, security limits, cookies, and choices available to visitors.

Information That May Be Collected

Search terms entered in a sponsored search box pass to the third-party provider operating that tool. If a visitor sends a message, the site may receive the name, email address, message text, and any details the sender chooses to include. Servers and service providers may also collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate access time.

Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies or comparable browser storage may support basic site operation, traffic measurement, advertising, and partner features. Analytics and advertising providers may set their own cookies under their policies. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some functions may then work differently.

How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to operate and secure the site, answer a message, understand which resources are useful, diagnose errors, measure traffic, prevent misuse, and support advertising or partner search functions. Search queries are handled by the outside search provider and are subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices.

When Data May Be Shared

Information may be disclosed to vendors that help run the site, including search partners, analytics services, hosting providers, and advertising networks. It may also be disclosed to law enforcement under a valid legal order, or when reasonably needed to protect rights, safety, or site security. Personal information is not offered for sale as a standalone contact list.

Links Beyond This Site

Pages link to Davidson County, North Carolina courts, NCDAC, federal agencies, and other services. Each outside site controls its own collection and use of information. This privacy notice does not govern an external agency, portal, or search provider, so visitors should review the policy shown there.

Data Security Limits

Reasonable safeguards may reduce risk, but no website, transmission method, or storage system can guarantee complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive identifiers through ordinary messages when an official agency provides a secure request process.

Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and is not designed for children under 18. It does not knowingly seek personal information from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied information may use the Contacts page to request review.

Privacy Choices and Rights

Visitors may adjust browser cookie settings and may ask about personal information submitted directly through a site message. Rights vary by location and circumstance. A request must provide enough detail to identify the relevant communication, and legal or security duties may limit deletion or access.

North Carolina Public Records

Davidson County Released Inmates is private and does not hold government records. Requests made to North Carolina agencies are governed by their own policies and applicable law, including Chapter 132 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Information sent to a public office may itself be subject to public-record rules.

Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised when site practices or legal requirements change. The version posted here controls from the time it is published. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
