Information You Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the information in that message to read and respond to it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when a page loads.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and which pages are useful. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Sampson County record pages visitors use most.
- To detect errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, immigration locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Sampson County government office.

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
