Information You Submit
A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs the query once submitted. A message or email sent directly to us may include the sender's name, address, and message content. We retain it as needed to respond and do not share it outside the organization unless required by law.

Links and Outside Services
Links lead to Yancey County offices, sheriff and corrections sources, court portals, federal locators, and private search tools. Their own privacy notices apply after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. We do not control that outside collection.
Recipients of Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed by search partners that receive a submitted query, analytics providers, advertising networks, and technical service providers. Information may also be disclosed to law enforcement or another government authority when a valid legal order requires it.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information in our control. No internet service, email system, or storage method is fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, interception, or loss will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
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 Contact Us to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by us, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These rights do not give this private site power to alter a Yancey County, court, NCDAC, or federal government record. Requests about an official record go to its government custodian.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as site services, providers, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
