Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own system. The provider’s privacy notice governs its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the details needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard web systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- the internet protocol address used for the request;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when supplied; and
- the date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site and support site functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be limited or blocked. Some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Data
- operate the site and maintain reasonable performance;
- send a search request to the selected partner tool;
- understand which pages visitors find useful;
- detect and correct technical failures; and
- display advertising that may reflect user interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office roster, North Carolina courts, NCDAC resources, federal locators, other government portals, news pages, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy controls.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner’s technology, not an Edgecombe County government system or a record stored by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may still be processed by:
- search partners that receive a submitted query;
- analytics vendors that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information under our control. No internet-connected system can be promised as completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion, or object to certain processing. These rights concern data held by this private site. Requests for an Edgecombe arrest or court record must go to the government custodian under North Carolina public-records law, including G.S. 132-1 where applicable.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as the site or applicable practices change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
