Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Harnett County Recent Arrests receives, why it is used, and when it may pass to another party. It covers visits to this private site, searches sent through embedded partner tools, and messages sent to us. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Queries

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s own privacy notice and terms govern its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement obliges us to do so.


Automatic Technical Data

Ordinary web systems may record basic technical details when a page loads. This information helps measure use, maintain service, and diagnose faults.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time of the request

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may help us understand how visitors use the site. You may block or remove cookies through browser settings, though parts of the site or an outside service may work differently afterward.


How Information Is Used

Information is used only for operating, evaluating, and supporting the site and its connected services.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which resources visitors find useful
  • Detect and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Websites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to the Harnett County Sheriff’s roster and reports, North Carolina court or correctional resources, federal locators, and private search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls. We do not set its collection, retention, or disclosure practices.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs within their systems, not ours.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to these parties when needed for the stated function:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website and limit access to information where practical. No internet connection, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, or accessed without authorization.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the information, you may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Erase personal data where the law permits
  • Stop or limit certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, services, or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with its new effective date.
