Information You Submit
Search Entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to answer and manage the request. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Details
Routine server and analytics systems may receive technical data when a page loads.

Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can block or delete them, although parts of the site or outside tools may then behave differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected data may support the following limited purposes.
- Operate the website and improve its speed
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Measure which content visitors find useful
- Diagnose and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to Buncombe County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy terms govern its collection and use.
Some advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not this site’s records.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed to a service that needs it for the stated function.
- Search providers processing a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring site use
- Advertising networks delivering ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access or disclosure. No internet-connected website or transmission method is completely secure, so a breach-proof guarantee cannot be made.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Where applicable, a user may make the following requests:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site

- Opt out of certain uses or processing
