Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider's own privacy terms govern its processing.
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Routine logs and analytics may collect:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.
- Learn which Cumberland County resource pages are useful.
- Detect faults and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office roster, police and corrections pages, North Carolina government portals, federal locators, and third-party tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its practices.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across different websites and tailor advertisements. That tracking takes place on their systems, not as a records database maintained by this site.
Possible Data Recipients
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be processed by:
- Search providers that receive submitted queries.
- Analytics vendors measuring site use.
- Advertising networks serving ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use standard, reasonable safeguards for the information under our control. No internet service or storage method is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a user may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete qualifying information.
- Opt out of certain processing.
North Carolina public records obtained from government offices are governed by the North Carolina Public Records Act, including G.S. Chapter 132. This site's privacy choices do not alter an agency's duties or its official records.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with an updated effective date.
