Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Currituck County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to data it receives.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard web systems may record basic details when a page loads. These logs help operate, secure, and improve the site.
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support site or advertising functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, though some features may work differently after they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports a limited set of operating needs.
- Keeping pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected outside service.
- Learning which Currituck County guides visitors find useful.
- Detecting and repairing technical faults.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
This site links to the Currituck County Sheriff’s Office, detention and records resources, North Carolina courts and corrections pages, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you follow a link, that destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising companies may also track activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs through their systems, not through an official Currituck County record system.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal data. Information may still be received by a limited group of service providers or authorities.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site activity.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Safeguarding Information
We use standard, reasonable measures to protect information under our control. No website, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise protection against every breach.
Visitors Under Eighteen
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 personal data may contact us and request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may exercise these choices.
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that personal information be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
