Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Davidson County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
When you email us or use a contact form, we keep the message and contact details needed to review and answer it. We do not disclose those messages outside our organization unless the law requires us to do so.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems can receive technical details when a page loads. That information helps operate and understand the service.
- Your internet protocol address
- Your browser type and version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies may be used to measure site use and support features. Most browsers let you reject or remove cookies. Blocking them can cause some functions or preferences to work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports ordinary operation and improvement of the service.
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner tool
- Measure which content visitors find useful
- Detect faults and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy Beyond Our Pages
Links may lead to Davidson County jail resources, booking and court systems, the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, other government portals, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy and data practices control.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking takes place through those providers, not through records maintained directly by Davidson County Recent Arrests.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may nonetheless be processed or disclosed to limited parties that provide a service or have lawful authority.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Safeguarding Information
We use customary administrative and technical security practices suited to the information handled. No website, network, or internet transmission is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of our records, you may ask us to take the following actions.
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal information where erasure applies
- Stop or limit certain forms of processing
Requests may be sent through the Contact Us page. North Carolina Chapter 132 governs public records held by government agencies, but it does not turn this private site's technical data into a Davidson County government record.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy when practices, services, or legal obligations change. The updated wording and a new effective date will be posted on this page.
