Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Orange County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
Email and contact-form messages are retained as needed to answer the sender. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most sites, the service may receive routine technical details when a page loads. These details help operate and troubleshoot the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page or site, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use and remember basic preferences. Visitors can block cookies through browser settings, though some functions may then work differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary site operations.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Diagnose errors and technical faults
- Present advertising that may reflect general interests
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to Orange County jail records, sheriff pages, North Carolina correctional and court services, federal locators, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy controls.
Advertising providers may measure activity across websites on their own systems to select ads. Orange County Recent Arrests does not control that separate collection.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal data is not sold. Information may still be disclosed to the service providers needed to operate the site.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Requests directed to Orange County under the North Carolina Public Records Law concern government records, not private data held by this site.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be promised to be completely secure or immune from a breach.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a person may ask for a copy of personal information, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Send a request through the Contact Us page.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as site practices change. A new version becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
