Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query typed into a search widget is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request under its own rules. We do not keep or log those names and locations on our servers.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, the message and reply details may be retained so the request can be answered. We keep that correspondence within our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server and analytics logs can collect technical facts about a visit, including:
- Device IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device class
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when supplied
- Time and date of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure use, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics vendors may aggregate that traffic. Browser settings can reject cookies, although some features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical data supports ordinary operation. Uses may include:
- Maintaining speed, security, and availability
- Sending a search request to the selected partner
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not compile, host, or sell a personal criminal-record database. Anderson County content explains how to reach ACSO, the local courts, SLED CATCH, the South Carolina Department of Corrections, and the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. A partner, not this policy, controls information entered into its tool, how long it is retained, and whether it is shared. Review that company's privacy terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Anderson County offices, courts, South Carolina agencies, legal resources, and private search providers. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may also use their own technology to measure activity across sites. Their systems, not ours, perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners handling a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring site traffic
- Advertising networks placing or measuring ads
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used for data under our control. No internet service can promise absolute security, so a breach or transmission failure can never be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If information from a person under 18 is identified, it may be removed after notice.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary by residence and applicable law. South Carolina also restricts use of public-record personal information for commercial solicitation under S.C. Code ยง30-2-50. Depending on the law that applies, a person may be able to:
- Request access to stored personal data
- Ask that inaccurate data be corrected
- Seek deletion of qualifying information
- Opt out of certain processing where a right exists
