Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or other search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type 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 site use and keep features working. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some pages or partner functions may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the proper partner service.
- To understand which Scotland County custody and records pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links and Outside Services
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, NC DAC resources, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls how that website handles your information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Scotland County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold. It may be available to limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics services used to measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads.
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for site operations, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be fully secure. We cannot guarantee that data transmission or storage will be breach-proof.
