Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Burke County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

If you send an email or contact message, we retain what you provide as needed to answer. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Details
Ordinary server and analytics systems may record technical information when a page loads, including:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, or third-party search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under their practices, not as a Burke County government function.

- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors that measure site use.
- Advertising networks serving ads.
- Law enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to the information handled. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed secure, however, and 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. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
