Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Macon County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its handling of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you send an email or use an available contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to answer. We do not disclose that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems can record basic technical and usage details when a page loads. That information may include:
- The Internet Protocol address associated with the request
- The browser name and browser version
- The device category and operating system
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring page or website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of the visit
Browser Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support some site functions. You may block or delete cookies through your browser. If you do, certain features may operate differently or may not retain their settings.
Purposes for Using Data
Collected information is used only for practical site and service purposes, including:
- Operating the site and maintaining reasonable performance
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service
- Understanding which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnosing errors and correcting technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
Privacy Beyond This Website
This site links to Macon County and North Carolina release-record resources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once you follow one of those links, that operator's privacy notice and practices apply.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across multiple sites or tailor ads. That tracking occurs through the advertising company's systems, not through records maintained by Macon County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how the site is used, data may be provided to:
- Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access or loss. No website, network, or online storage method is completely secure. For that reason, Macon County Released Inmates cannot promise that a breach or other security failure will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent personal data to us, use the Get in Touch page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the relevant information, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask us to erase personal data in our possession
- Opt out of certain forms of processing when that choice applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal duties change. An updated version will be posted on this page and identified by a new effective date.
