Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box goes to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those terms on its own systems.
Messages
An email or contact-form message may be kept long enough to answer and manage the exchange. We do not share it outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal site and analytics systems may receive technical details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove them, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Information supports the basic operation of the service.
- Operate and improve site performance
- Send a query to the chosen search partner
- Measure which resources are useful
- Detect and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Outside Sites and Advertising
Links lead to Mecklenburg sheriff and court pages, NCDAC resources, government record portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's practices, not as a record stored by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach these parties when needed:
- Search partners that process a query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards appropriate to the information handled. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed free of every breach, interception, or unauthorized act.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we retain
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible information be erased
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted with its new effective date.
