Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or other search detail into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Cumberland County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method, we keep the information needed to read and answer that message. We do not share those communications outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when pages load or links are used.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages you view and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps connected to site activity.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and which pages work best. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features, measurement, or partner tools may behave differently after blocking them.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send searches to the appropriate third-party provider when a search box is used.
- To understand which Cumberland County jail, roster, court, and locator pages are most useful.
- To identify errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to visitor interests.
Links Leaving This Site
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, NCDAC resources, court portals, public-records systems, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you follow an outside link, that outside site's privacy policy and data practices control what happens there.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. Those tracking and ad-delivery practices occur on their platforms, not under this site's direct control.

We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to these categories of recipients when needed for the site to function or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process searches submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires disclosure.
Security
We use standard, reasonable security practices for a public website. No internet-connected service can be promised to be fully secure, and this notice should not be read as a guarantee against unauthorized access, data loss, or misuse.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
