Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar query into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own public records database.
Messages
If you email or otherwise send a message, the information you include may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless required by law or needed to handle the request.
Automatic Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load.
- IP address or approximate network location.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring page or site, when provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, measure traffic, and support advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and secure.
- To route search requests to partner search services.
- To learn which Cleveland County inmate-record pages are most useful.
- To diagnose broken links, slow pages, or other technical issues.
- To show or measure ads that may be based on general interests.
Links to Other Sites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, North Carolina court and corrections pages, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside site controls how it handles your information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure views, clicks, or activity across websites. Those practices are controlled by the partner, not by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to limited service providers or authorities in these situations.
- Search partners that process a query you submit.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no website or internet-connected system can be made completely secure. This policy does not promise breach-proof storage or transmission.
