Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool passes directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email you send long enough to manage and answer it. The message remains within our organization unless the law requires disclosure to someone else.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server receives routine technical details about that visit:
- Page-view times and the pages opened
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
- Time spent on visited pages
- The referring site, when one is reported
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and outside analytics services help combine traffic data, such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can block cookies, though doing so may change how parts of the site work.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and technical faults
- Routing a search request to the selected provider
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Operating the site and keeping pages responsive
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, combine, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies where Bamberg County records can be requested from the sheriff, detention center, courts, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and South Carolina Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or third-party criminal file.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies run the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its retention and sharing choices, so review its terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, sheriff pages, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Check that policy before providing personal details.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query
- Advertising networks placing ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security measures protect the information we collect. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so those safeguards cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such data is identified, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. South Carolina Code §30-2-50 also restricts obtaining or using public records for commercial solicitation. Regardless of location, you may:
- Request deletion of data associated with you
- Ask to correct inaccurate information
- Request a copy of information held about you
- Object to certain forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
Changes to privacy practices will be reflected in a revised policy on this page and a new effective date.
Effective date: August 8, 2026
