Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or similar query into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Randolph County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain a record of the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement, such as a court order or other valid government demand, requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads. That information helps operate the site and understand basic usage patterns.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time of access.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used for analytics, advertising, and site performance. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some search, ad, or measurement features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the search widget.
- To understand which Randolph County custody, jail roster, court, and facility pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose broken links, performance problems, and security issues.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Outside Websites and Public Records
This site links to government rosters, sheriff and court pages, NCDAC records resources, the NC eCourts Portal, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls its data practices.
Some linked records may be public under North Carolina Chapter 132 or other public-record rules, but public availability does not mean this site controls the official record. Advertising partners may also measure activity across websites using their own systems.

- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure page use and technical performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order, subpoena, warrant, or similar process.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected website, email system, advertising platform, or partner search tool can be guaranteed completely secure, so no breach-proof promise is made.
