Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or other query into a sponsored search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not run those partner databases and do not store those search terms on our own system. The provider's own privacy rules apply to the search after it leaves this site.
Messages and Contact Requests
If you send an email or contact message, the information you choose to include may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization except when needed to operate the site or when required by a valid legal order.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That data helps keep pages working and helps spot errors.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site, remember technical preferences, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure activity. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Some features or ads may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used

- Keep the site available, secure, and fast.
- Route sponsored search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which pages and record topics visitors use most.
- Find broken links, display issues, and technical errors.

Links Away From This Site
Many pages link to outside resources, including the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office, NC Courts, NCDAC, NC SAVAN/VINE, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy notice and terms control what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or tracking systems to measure ads and tailor ads across websites. That activity happens on their systems, not under this site's direct control.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. Some data may be handled by service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process sponsored search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and technical performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, warrant, court order, or other legal demand requires disclosure.
