Cookies
Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. You can block cookies through your browser, although some functions may then work differently.
How We Use Information
Collected information supports the site’s operation and helps us understand how its Vance County resources perform.
- Operate the website and maintain reasonable speed
- Send search requests to the selected partner service
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Vance County Sheriff, detention information, North Carolina courts and corrections pages, federal resources, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking takes place under the provider’s practices, not this notice alone.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to a limited set of recipients when needed for the services described here.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
We use standard safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, so we cannot guarantee that any system is immune from unauthorized access or a breach.
This Site Is for Adults
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
