Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other detail entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Wake County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
Email and contact-form messages are kept as needed to respond. They are not disclosed outside the organization unless sharing is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Routine server and analytics records may collect technical details whenever a page loads. These details help the site function and show broad patterns of use.
- Your internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, although some features can work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain its speed
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Understand which pages visitors find useful
- Detect and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to Wake County detention information, arrest feeds, sheriff and correction pages, North Carolina government portals, federal resources, or outside search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination service's own privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to select interest-based ads. That processing occurs through the partner's systems rather than records maintained directly by Wake County Recent Arrests.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated service or when law requires disclosure:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information from improper access or disclosure. No service connected to the internet is fully secure, so Wake County Recent Arrests cannot promise that its safeguards will prevent every breach.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted such information, contact the site to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies to the request, a user may exercise the following rights concerning personal information held directly by the site:
- Ask for a copy of personal information held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible information be erased
- Opt out of certain processing when that right applies
These choices concern data held by Wake County Recent Arrests. Requests involving a Wake County or North Carolina public record must be directed to the government office that maintains that record under applicable law, including the North Carolina Public Records Law in Chapter 132 of the General Statutes.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
