If you send an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept so a reply can be made. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to handle the request.
Technical Data and Cookies
Normal page requests can produce technical records such as:
- IP address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on each;
- referring site, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookie choices
Cookies may help understand how visitors use the site and may support page features. Browser settings can block or delete them. Some functions may behave differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- keep the pages running and responsive;
- send search requests to the selected partner;
- learn which Wayne County pages are useful;
- spot and correct technical problems; and
- show advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests.
Government and Outside Links
The site links to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, Detention Center, NC VINE, the Wayne courts, NCDAC, federal locators, and third-party record pages. Once you leave for the Sheriff's Office, Detention Center, or another destination, that service's privacy policy controls its handling of information. The same applies to search partners.
Advertising partners may observe activity across sites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. That tracking is governed by the partner's settings and policy, not by this site's control.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold by this site. It may be available to:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure page use;
- advertising networks;
- service providers needed to keep the pages running; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information handled here. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, so this site cannot promise that data will be breach-proof or safe from every unauthorized event.
Visitors Under 18
These pages are intended for adults. The site does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information, a parent or guardian may contact the site to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- ask what personal information is held;
- request correction of an error;
- ask that information be deleted when appropriate; and
- ask to opt out of certain processing, subject to technical and legal limits.
Requests should identify the information and the contact method used. Some records may need to be retained to comply with law or resolve a dispute.
Notice Changes
This notice may be revised as the site, advertising, or search services change. A new version will be posted on this page with its updated effective date. The notice does not alter the privacy rules of Wayne County, NC VINE, NCDAC, the courts, or any other linked source.
