Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, or location into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Wilson County Inmate Population does not keep its own database of those search terms or store official Wilson County jail records.
Messages to Us
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the details needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, the site may receive routine technical data when a page loads or a link is clicked.
- IP address or approximate network location.
- Browser name, version, and language settings.
- Device type, operating system, and screen information.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on each page.
- Referring site or search engine, when available.
- Dates and times tied to page requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, keep features working, and support advertising or analytics. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features may not behave the same way after they are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, readable, and fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Wilson County inmate-record pages are used most.
- To detect broken links, errors, abuse, or security issues.
- To support advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Outside Links
Wilson County Inmate Population links to sheriff, jail, court, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and other third-party pages. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad views, clicks, or interest categories across multiple sites. That activity is handled by those partners, not by the Wilson County Sheriff's Office or any North Carolina government office.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data as an inmate record or consumer report. Limited data may still be processed by these parties when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that receive queries entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure page use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies if a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires it.
Public Records Context
North Carolina Chapter 132 governs public records held by state and local agencies, including many records made or received in public business. That law applies to government offices, not to this private website. Requests for official Wilson County jail, law-enforcement, or court records should be directed to the agency that created or maintains the record.
Security Measures
We use reasonable technical and administrative safeguards for the information handled through the site. No internet-connected system can be promised as fully secure, so this notice does not make a breach-proof guarantee.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the request can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- Request correction of information you believe is wrong.
- Ask that stored contact-message data be deleted.
- Opt out of some processing where applicable law provides that right.
Notice Updates
This privacy notice may be updated as site features, search partners, advertising systems, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised text.
