Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, location, or other query entered in a search box passes to the third-party company that powers the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its receipt and use.
Messages
An email or contact message is kept as needed to answer it and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless service delivery or law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Details
Ordinary server and analytics logs may collect details created when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page or site
- Visit timestamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure site use and support functions. Browser controls can block or remove them, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information serves a limited set of operating needs.
- Deliver and maintain pages
- Route a query to the selected search provider
- Measure which material visitors find useful
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to Surry County offices, North Carolina corrections and courts, federal locators, or search providers. The destination's privacy policy applies after a click. Some advertising companies may measure activity across sites on their own systems to select ads; this site does not control that processing.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by the parties needed to operate a feature or satisfy law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, uninterrupted protection, or a breach-proof result.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion of information a minor submitted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask for a copy of data held about them, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. These rights do not control records held by a sheriff, court, corrections agency, or outside provider.
Changes to This Notice
This policy may be revised as practices or services change. The updated wording and effective date will be posted on this page.
