Information You Send
Search Terms
A name, place, or other query entered in a search tool is passed to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This service does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email or send a contact message, the details supplied are kept so a reply can be made. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to address a legal request.
Technical Data and Cookies
Normal page requests can create technical records such as:
- IP address
- browser type and version
- device type and operating system
- pages visited and time spent
- referring page, when supplied
- timestamps and similar request data
Cookies or similar tools may help understand how visitors use the pages. Browser settings can block them, though some features may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to keep the pages available, route a search to the correct outside provider, understand which pages help visitors, diagnose faults, and display advertising that may reflect interests. Search partners may process a query on their own systems. Their privacy terms control that processing.
Outside Links and Sharing
Pages link to the Chowan sheriff, detention information, Edenton Police, court portals, NCDAC, federal locators, archives, news outlets, and third-party tools. Once a visitor leaves this service, the destination’s privacy policy applies. Advertising partners may track activity across sites on their own systems for targeted advertising.
Personal data is not sold by this service. Information may be received by search partners handling queries, analytics services, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security and Young Visitors
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system is fully secure and no breach-proof promise can be made. The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A minor who submitted data may ask for it to be reviewed or deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may request a copy of data held about them, ask that inaccurate information be corrected, request erasure, or ask to opt out of certain processing. Send a request through Contact Us with enough detail to identify the request. Search partners, government offices, analytics providers, and advertising networks may require a separate request under their own policies.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised as the service or its vendors change. An updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continuing to use the pages after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
