Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or date of birth into one of the search tools on our site, that input goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the search. They process it and return results. We do not store or log the search terms you enter on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send us an email, we keep that message so we can reply. Your message stays within our team. We will not share it with anyone outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that let us see how visitors use the site - which pages get the most traffic and where people tend to drop off. Analytics services help us aggregate that traffic data. Your browser settings let you block cookies whenever you want. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant-record information. It publishes general guidance about Lancaster County offices, courts, and public-record routes. South Carolina does not provide a single public statewide warrant portal. Visitor information collected through this site is not assembled into consumer reports or records about third parties, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff’s office information, court pages, state law, or third-party search tools. Clicking an external link takes you to a separately operated service, whose privacy policy governs its collection and use. Review that policy before sharing personal information.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor has submitted information may contact us to request review and deletion where applicable.
Your Data Rights
You may contact us to ask what personal information from a direct message is retained, request correction of inaccurate contact information, or ask that a message be deleted where applicable. These requests concern information held by this private site; they do not apply to warrant or court records held by a government office. Requests may be limited by legal obligations or technical records maintained for security.
- Ask what information from your message remains in our records
- Request correction of contact details you supplied
- Ask us to delete a message where no retention duty applies
- Ask how a third-party search provider handles information submitted to its tool
Updates to This Policy
We may change this privacy policy down the road. When we do, the updated version goes up on this page with a new effective date. Check back if you want to keep tabs on how we handle your information.
Effective date: September 22, 2026
