Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that search. Yadkin County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy policy controls its receipt and handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email or submit a contact message, we retain the message and contact details as needed to read and answer it. We do not share those communications outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Information Collected by Technology
Ordinary web systems may record technical details whenever a page loads. This data supports basic operation, measurement, and troubleshooting and may include:
- The visitor’s internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Browser Cookies
Cookies and similar technology help show how visitors use the site. Most browsers let users block or remove cookies through their settings. Some site functions or preferences may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Purposes for Using Data
Information described in this notice may be used for the following operational purposes:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and reliable
- Sending a search request to the selected partner tool
- Learning which Yadkin County resource pages visitors find useful
- Finding errors, abuse, or other technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office, Yadkin County Detention Center, North Carolina Courts, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, federal custody tools, public-record portals, or third-party search services. Once a visitor follows one of those links, that destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. We do not control how an outside site collects or uses information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based advertisements. Any such tracking takes place through the partner’s technology, not through a database of official arrest or custody records maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be provided to service providers or authorities when needed for the functions described here:
- Search partners that process terms submitted through their tools
- Analytics providers that measure visits and page performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess advertisements
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Safeguards and Their Limits
We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information in our control. No website, network, transmission method, or connected storage system is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that information will never be intercepted, lost, misused, or accessed without authorization.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal information may contact us and request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and any need to verify a request, a visitor may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about that visitor
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal information in our control
- Stop or limit certain processing where an opt-out right applies
Revisions to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, services, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page and will carry a new effective date when posted.
