Ashe Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected through this site, how that information supports site operations, and when another party may receive it. It also covers cookies, outside links, security, and user choices. By continuing to use Ashe County Released Inmates, a visitor accepts the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls how it handles the query.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, we retain what is needed to answer it. Message information is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. They can include:

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • The browser and browser version in use.
  • 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 site use and remember limited browser settings. A visitor may block them through browser controls, though some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports a limited set of operating needs:

  • Keeping pages available and responsive.
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner.
  • Learning which resources visitors use.
  • Finding and correcting technical faults.
  • Displaying ads that may reflect visitor interests.

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to Sheriff or corrections pages, government record portals, release resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy rules apply. Advertising partners may also measure activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:

  • Search providers that process a submitted query.
  • Analytics vendors that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that serve or assess ads.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information under our control. No service connected to the Internet is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a user may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask that eligible information be erased.
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing.

Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with a new effective date.
