Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email is retained as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Page requests provide routine technical details to the servers:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Device type and operating system
- Visited pages and time spent on them
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, popular pages, and where visits end. Analytics providers combine that activity into reports. Browser controls can block cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Routing a search request to the selected partner
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Selecting advertisements that may be relevant
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to reach the Alamance County sheriff, the state courts, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, and the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. Visitor data is not turned into a third-party dossier or consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern information submitted through those tools, including retention and sharing choices beyond our control. Read the provider's policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to official Alamance County offices, North Carolina agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before sharing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may be received by:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks that place content on the pages
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a query submitted to their tool
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices protect collected data, but no internet service can guarantee perfect security or promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A verified report that a minor supplied data will be addressed by deleting it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can depend on the law where a visitor lives. North Carolina's Public Records Law, Chapter 132, governs records held by public agencies, while G.S. 15A-502 and 15A-503 govern specified criminal-history collection and dissemination. Those government-record rules do not convert this private site into a public agency. Subject to applicable law, you can:
- Opt out of some forms of processing
- Request deletion of eligible data
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for access to information held about you
