Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider powering that tool. The provider handles the query and returns its results. The site operator does not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you use an available email channel to contact the operator, the message may be retained so a reply can be sent. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server may receive technical details about the visit, including:
- The time and date of a page request
- The browser, device type, and operating system
- The referring site, when one is provided
- The IP address assigned to the device
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. The site and its analytics services may use them to understand aggregate traffic, such as which pages are visited. Browser settings can block or clear cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Reviewing aggregate page use and improving content
- Routing a search request to the provider behind that tool
- Keeping the pages available and resolving technical faults
- Displaying advertising
No Warrant Data on File
Richland County Warrant Records does not host or sell a database of warrant records and does not compile visitor information into a report about another person. The site describes how to reach the Richland County Sheriff’s Department, the Circuit Clerk, magistrates, and municipal courts. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the provider’s privacy terms and retention practices. The site operator does not control those systems; read the provider’s policy before submitting any search detail.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to RCSD, court, state, legal-aid, or commercial-provider websites. Once there, the outside operator’s privacy policy applies. Check it before sharing personal information.
An advertising partner may use its own systems to measure activity or select ads across websites; the site operator does not control that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold by the site operator. Information may be handled by:
- Government offices when a valid legal process compels disclosure
- Analytics providers measuring site traffic
- Ad services that display ads
- Search providers receiving queries entered into their boxes
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security steps are used for information the site operator handles. Internet systems cannot be guaranteed free of every risk, so no promise can be made that a data incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If a minor’s information has been sent to the operator, use an available operator contact channel to request its removal.
Your Data Rights
South Carolina’s Freedom of Information Act, S.C. Code Title 30, Chapter 4, governs access to qualifying public records held by public bodies. It is not a privacy law for this private website’s visitor data. Any rights to review, correct, or remove information depend on applicable law and the operator’s records.
- Ask whether the operator holds information you provided
- Request correction of inaccurate details
- Ask for deletion where applicable
- Ask about opting out of processing where the law allows
