Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling.
If you email or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Information and Cookies

Cookies may help measure use and remember technical preferences. Browser settings can reject cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.

Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to Dare County offices, sheriff and detention resources, North Carolina courts and corrections, federal locators, and third-party tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and deliver interest-based ads.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be processed by search partners handling submitted queries, analytics providers, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order. Each provider receives only the information involved in its function.
Security Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise perfect security. Transmission, storage, and outside services are never guaranteed to be breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
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 Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held here, request correction, request erasure, or object to certain processing. These choices do not control information held independently by a government office, search partner, advertiser, or linked publisher. North Carolina public records are governed separately by Chapter 132 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as services or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
