If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to sheriff pages, outside-jail rosters, booking information, court portals, corrections resources, or commercial search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy notice and practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking takes place under the partner’s practices, not within systems controlled by Gates County Recent Arrests.

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries

- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise protection against every unauthorized event.
