Privacy Notice

This notice explains the information collected when you use this site, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Choose to Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name or location entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party company operating that tool. Granville County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Emails and Other Messages

If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to respond. We do not share the message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected During a Visit

Normal web-server and analytics systems may record the following details when a page loads:

  • Your internet protocol address.
  • The browser name and version.
  • Device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when supplied.
  • Date and time information.

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help show how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, although doing so can change how some features work.


Purposes for Using Information

  • Operate the site and maintain acceptable performance.
  • Send a search request to the appropriate partner.
  • Understand which Granville County guides visitors find useful.

Privacy After You Follow a Link

Our pages link to the Granville County Sheriff's Office, detention information, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, court and records portals, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That tracking occurs on their systems, not ours.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee

We use standard practices intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed fully secure or immune from a breach.
