Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s policy controls its processing after submission.
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. They can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page, when supplied; and
- request dates and timestamps.
Cookies help measure visits and understand how the site is used. A browser can reject or delete cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports ordinary site operations. It may be used to:
- keep pages available and responsive;
- send search requests to the selected partner;
- learn which Forsyth County resources visitors use;
- detect and repair technical faults; and
- display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links lead to the FCSO roster, LEDC information, NCDAC services, courts, booking sources, federal locators, and independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy terms govern its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on the provider’s systems, not within the official Forsyth County records systems linked here.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be shared with:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary administrative and technical steps intended to protect information. No internet connection, server, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This 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 use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, a person may ask for a copy of personal information held by us, request correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. These choices concern data controlled by this private site. Requests about an FCSO, court, LEDC, NCDAC, or other public record must go to the agency that holds it.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
