Information You Submit
Search forms send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Carrboro People Search does not retain a copy of those searches on its own servers. When you contact us, we receive the details you decide to include and use them only to answer your message.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting systems create ordinary server logs, which may include an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and learn which Carrboro resources visitors use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where those features apply.
How We Use Information
The limited data described above helps us operate the site, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve its pages. We neither sell visitor lists nor build profiles about individual users.
Links to Other Websites
Carrboro People Search links to municipal, Orange County, and North Carolina portals, as well as library collections and third-party search tools. Information submitted on another website is controlled by that website’s privacy policy, not ours. The same distinction applies to sponsored search results, which come from a third-party company.
Who May Receive Data
Companies that host or support the service may process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information already described. We may disclose data when valid legal process requires it, but otherwise do not share visitor information.
How Information Is Protected
An encrypted connection delivers the site. Server logs are kept only as long as necessary for the stated purposes. Because Carrboro People Search has no user accounts, it holds no visitor password or account profile that could be exposed.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted such information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
Your place of residence may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Research current to July 2026 found no North Carolina omnibus consumer privacy or data-broker deletion statute comparable to California’s broad law, though sector-specific state and federal protections still apply. We can check our contact mailbox and server logs for information tied to a request and remove what we control. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records are different: Carrboro, Orange County, and North Carolina agencies hold their own files under statutes such as the North Carolina Public Records Law, N.C.G.S. Chapter 132. A request to correct, redact, or restrict an official record must go to its custodian and remains subject to the law governing that record.
Changes to This Policy
Any revised policy will be posted here. If you continue to use Carrboro People Search after a revision, you accept the new terms of this policy.
