Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. We do not disclose the message beyond our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, routine server and analytics records can capture technical details about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- Your device's IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and general device category
- Pages opened and approximate time spent on them
- A referring website, when one is supplied
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They help show, in aggregate, which pages visitors use and where a visit ends. Analytics providers help compile that traffic information. A browser can block cookies, although some website functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search to the provider selected by the visitor
- Maintaining reliable and responsive pages
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Understanding which content receives useful traffic
- Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a personal criminal-record database. The content describes how to reach the Greene County sheriff, the North Carolina courts, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, and the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. Visitor information is not turned into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure practices apply to information submitted through those tools. We do not control those policies. Read the provider's privacy notice before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Greene County offices, North Carolina courts, state agencies, and outside tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls the visit. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based advertisements.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics services measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners receiving a query submitted to their tool
- Advertising networks placing or measuring ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used to protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such information is identified, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights over personal data. North Carolina's Public Records Law, G.S. Chapter 132, governs records held by public agencies, while 14B NCAC 18B .0404 governs a person's review and challenge of their own SBI criminal history. Those rules do not turn this private website into a government records custodian. For data kept by us, you may:
- Request deletion of personal data we retain
- Ask what personal information is on file
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Opt out of processing where applicable law provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as services or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.
