Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name or location into a search box, that query passes to the third-party company that operates the tool. Iredell County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
If you email us or use an available contact form, we retain the message and the information you provide long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems and service providers receive basic technical and usage details when a page loads. These records can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help us understand how visitors move through the site and support certain functions. You may block or remove cookies through your browser controls. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Supports the Site
We use available data for the following operating purposes:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understanding which guides visitors use.
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical failures.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Government and Outside Websites
Our pages link to Iredell County Sheriff resources, NCDAC offender systems, North Carolina court portals, federal locators, release-record sources, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the receiving site’s privacy terms and data practices apply.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That processing takes place on the provider’s systems, not on ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on the feature you choose and the law that applies, information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Services that measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Safeguarding Information
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the site and the information involved. No internet service, storage system, or data transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information to us, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of personal data we control.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
