Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Cherokee County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages To The Site
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and keep a reasonable record of the exchange. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That data helps with security, troubleshooting, site performance, and understanding how visitors use Cherokee County jail and inmate record pages.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure traffic, remember basic preferences, and understand how visitors move through the site. You can block cookies in your browser. Some features or ads may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and quick to load.
- To send search requests to the proper outside search partner.
- To see which Cherokee County jail, court, and locator pages are useful.
- To find errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To show advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster paths, court portals, NCDAC resources, BOP and ICE locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that site's own privacy rules and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not as an official Cherokee County record system.

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to service providers or legal authorities in the situations listed below.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and we cannot promise absolute security.
