Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other lookup detail is typed into a sponsored search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand visits, measure page performance, support advertising, and improve site function. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- Keep the pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Send search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which Forsyth County jail, court, and facility pages are useful to visitors.
- Diagnose broken pages, errors, abuse, or security problems.
- Support advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
The site links to sheriff pages, jail resources, North Carolina court tools, NC DAC pages, the BOP locator, ICE ODLS, VINELink or NC SAVAN, and other third-party search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technology to recognize visits across different websites. That tracking happens on their systems, not as a record held by this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold. It may be made available to limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, server, browser transmission, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed against every unauthorized access or failure.
