Data You Give Us Directly
Information is received only when a visitor chooses to provide it through an available feature. That may include a name, email address, or the text of a message. Do not submit court evidence, identity documents, payment-card data, or other records to this site. Official Charleston County requests must go to the government custodian.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, the service may log basic technical details when a page loads. Those details can include an IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, and visit time. Cookies or similar tools may help remember settings, measure traffic, and understand site performance.
Browser settings can block or remove cookies. Doing so may affect features supplied by this site or an outside provider.
What We Do With This Data
Collected information may be used to operate the site, protect it from abuse, measure page performance, understand broad usage patterns, and maintain available features. It may also be used to meet a valid legal duty. Personal information is not sold as a list of Charleston County record seekers.
No Criminal-Record Data on File
This site does not maintain Charleston County arrest files, criminal histories, court dockets, jail rosters, warrants, or registry profiles. Those records remain with the Sheriff’s Office, courts, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, police agencies, and other official custodians. Searches submitted on a government site are governed by that agency’s own policy.
Third-Party Search Partners
Some pages contain search tools run by outside companies. Information entered into such a tool goes to that provider and is subject to its privacy terms, data practices, and pricing. This site does not control the provider’s collection, matching, retention, or deletion rules. Review those terms before submitting information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Charleston County, South Carolina, court, law enforcement, or other external services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination controls the visit. This privacy policy does not govern another organization’s website, and no responsibility is accepted for that organization’s content or privacy practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Information may be shared with vendors that support hosting, analytics, security, or other site operations when access is needed for that work. It may also be disclosed when law requires it, to protect legal rights or safety, or during a transfer of the service. Service providers are expected to use data only for the task they perform.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet system can guarantee perfect security, however. A visitor should assume that online transmission always carries some risk.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 18. Information identified as a minor’s personal data will be removed when required.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may allow a person to ask what personal information is held, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. South Carolina Code Section 30-2-50 also restricts obtaining or using public information for commercial solicitation, while the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act governs access to state and local public records. Privacy requests concern data held by this private site, not records held by Charleston County or SLED.
- Request access to personal information associated with you
- Ask that inaccurate personal data be corrected
- Request deletion when the law permits it
- Object to or opt out of eligible processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date, and use after that date is subject to the updated policy.
