Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or other term into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that runs the tool. Duplin County Inmate Population does not host that search database and does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, handle follow-up, or meet a legal obligation. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless sharing is required by law.
Automatic Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads. That data helps diagnose errors, measure traffic, and keep the pages usable.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site, support ads, and improve performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some parts of the site or partner tools may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To learn which Duplin County inmate and jail pages are useful to visitors.
- To find broken pages, security issues, and technical errors.
- To show ads that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Links
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, court resources, corrections pages, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that other website's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or tracking tools across websites to measure ads or show interest-based advertising. Those systems are operated by the ad partner, not by Duplin County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be received or processed by the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable security steps are used to protect information handled through this site. No internet-connected website, email account, analytics system, or advertising platform can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.
