Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses North Carolina Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and when service providers or legal authorities may receive it. Continued use of the site indicates acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems. Avoid placing sensitive identifiers in messages to this private site.

Messages

Email or contact-form content may be retained long enough to respond. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Basic technical and usage details may be recorded when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device class and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • referring page, when supplied;
  • date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or remove them, though some functions may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

Collected data supports ordinary site operations and service improvement.

  • Operate and improve site performance.
  • Send a search to the selected partner service.
  • Measure which pages are useful.
  • Find and correct technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests.

Sites Reached by Links

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, jail rosters, official portals, county sites, and outside search tools. After a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy terms control.

Advertising providers may track activity across sites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not as a record held by this site.


Possible Data Recipients

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may reach:

  • search providers processing a query;
  • analytics vendors;
  • advertising networks;
  • law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used where practical. No internet-connected service can promise complete security or guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on the law that applies, a user may ask to:

  • receive a copy of held personal data;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • delete eligible data;
  • opt out of certain processing.
