Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Horry County Inmate Population may collect when visitors use the site, search tools, or contact options. It also explains how data may be used, when it may be shared, and how outside search, analytics, advertising, jail, court, and corrections sites handle their own information.

Information Visitors Provide

Search Terms

Names, counties, dates, or other details typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. Horry County Inmate Population does not keep its own database 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 review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.

Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data when a browser loads a page.

  • IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
  • Referring page or website, when available.
  • Date and time of visits.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may help measure site use, support advertising, and understand which pages are useful. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may work differently after cookies are limited.

How Data Is Used

  • Keep the site available, readable, and fast.
  • Route search requests to the proper partner service.

Outside Websites

This site links to sheriff, detention-center, court, corrections, federal, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy notice and terms of the destination site control that visit.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to understand activity across websites. Their data practices are not controlled by Horry County Inmate Population.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and page use.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security Practices

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected system can be promised as fully secure, so no breach-proof guarantee is made.

The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.

Data Rights
