Pender Site Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information the site receives, how it is used, and when a service provider or lawful authority may receive it. Using Pender County Released Inmates means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

Email and contact-form messages are retained as needed to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected

Routine server and analytics logs may capture the following details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages opened and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookie Use

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.


Purposes for the Data

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, public-record portals, government locators, and third-party search tools. The destination's own privacy policy controls after a visitor leaves this site.

Some advertising providers may measure activity across websites to select ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as a Pender government records function.


Parties Receiving Data

Personal information is not sold. It may be processed by:

  • Search partners handling submitted queries
  • Analytics providers measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

Standard protective practices are used, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure or immune from a breach.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask for deletion where applicable
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised. A new version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
