Information You Submit
Queries Sent to Search Providers
A name or location entered in a search tool is transmitted to the independent company operating that tool. Lee County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to answer and manage the exchange. We do not disclose that message outside our organization unless the law requires it.

Routine logs and measurement tools may record information when a page loads, including:

- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though blocking them may cause some features to work differently.

Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may open the Lee County jail roster, Sanford booking feed, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, or independent search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy terms govern the visit. This includes official systems subject to North Carolina public-records law, including G.S. 132-1.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to search providers processing a query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet transmission or connected system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
