Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Hertford County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or message connected to this site, the message and contact details may be retained long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load, mainly to operate the site, measure use, and troubleshoot problems.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name, browser version, and related user-agent details.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website when a browser provides one.
- Date and time of visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, responsive, and usable.
- To send search requests to the proper partner service when a visitor chooses to use one.

- To support advertising that may be tailored to general interests.
North Carolina Chapter 132 governs public records held by government agencies, including many county and court records. This privacy notice covers data handled by this private website, not the separate public-record duties or retention rules of Hertford County, the Sheriff's Office, the courts, NCDAC, BOP, or ICE.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, federal locator, notification, and third-party search resources. After a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is controlled by those partners, not by Hertford County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be made available to limited parties when needed for site operations or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that support ads on the site.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use ordinary security measures for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed against every risk. We cannot promise that transmission, storage, or partner systems will be breach-proof.
Children
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold, if any.
- Request correction of inaccurate information connected to you.

- Opt out of certain processing where applicable.
