Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When you type a name or place into a search tool, the query passes to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s policy governs its receipt and use of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Routine Technical Information
Like most websites, our systems and service providers may receive basic technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version in use.
- Your device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block or delete them through browser settings, although a blocked cookie may cause some functions to behave differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Information is used only for operating, understanding, and supporting the site and its search connections. Those uses include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Learning which Perquimans County resources readers use.

- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Perquimans County Sheriff’s Office, Albemarle District Jail, North Carolina corrections and court portals, custody tools, or independent search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms apply.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems and is governed by their policies.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by a small group of providers or authorities when needed:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to the information we handle. No website, network, or storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use our Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask us to take the following action on personal data we hold:
- Provide a copy of that data.
- Correct information that is wrong.
- Delete information where the law permits.
- Stop or opt out of certain processing.
