Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other detail entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s rules govern its receipt and handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the message and the contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Collected information may be used for the following operational purposes:

Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office resources, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction services, court portals, release-record sources, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Public access to North Carolina government records is also subject to Chapter 132 and other laws that protect particular records.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on the partner’s systems, not this site’s systems.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site use
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard practices intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, or storage system connected to the internet can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask us to:
