Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name or location in a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Dare County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not disclose those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.

Cookies can help show how visitors move through the site. You may block or remove cookies through your browser settings, although some site functions may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the site's operation and the services a visitor chooses to use.

External Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to Dare County release-record resources, Sheriff pages, NCDAC systems, government portals, or third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy and data practices apply.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across multiple websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the provider's controls, not as a Dare County Released Inmates record.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by the following parties as part of normal site operation or a binding legal duty.
- Search partners that process a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Our Security Practices
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information within our control. No website, network, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise protection against every breach or unauthorized act.
