Data You Provide Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is submitted to the third-party provider serving that result. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Like most hosted sites, the service may create ordinary server logs containing an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of request. Aggregated log information helps operate and improve the service. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, if applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use Information
Visitor information is used to run the service, diagnose problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve local reference content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles from ordinary site use.
External Websites
Links may lead to Randolph County or North Carolina portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. A destination site's own privacy notice controls information submitted there. That includes sponsored search results supplied by a separate provider.
Who Can Receive Data
Hosting and support providers may process ordinary server-log data for the service. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automated data described above. Information is also disclosed when valid legal process requires it.
Data Security
The service uses an encrypted connection, and operational logs are retained only for the time needed for the purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or saved visitor profiles for this service to expose.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor has sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal data we hold by using the Contact page. North Carolina official research did not identify an enacted broad consumer data-broker deletion or universal opt-out law. The Personal Privacy Protection Act, Session Law 2025-79, is narrower and protects certain nonprofit member, supporter, volunteer, and donor information; it is not a general public-record deletion right. Public records are governed separately by the North Carolina Public Records Act, N.C.G.S. Chapter 132, especially ยงยง132-1, 132-6, and 132-6.2, and requests about them belong with the custodian. Protected addresses may be covered by the North Carolina Address Confidentiality Program, N.C.G.S. Chapter 15C.
