Information You Submit
Text entered in a search form, such as a name, phone number, or address, goes to the outside provider that returns the search results. We do not retain a separate copy of those queries on our servers. A message sent to us contains only the details you choose to provide, and we use them to answer that message.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting systems create standard logs that can include an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. Aggregated logs help maintain the service and show which resources visitors use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic traffic analysis and advertising measurement where applicable.
How the Information Is Used
The limited information above supports site operation, fault diagnosis, traffic measurement, and content improvements. We neither sell a visitor list nor create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Town of Cornelius pages, Mecklenburg County and North Carolina portals, court systems, libraries, and outside search tools. Each destination controls its own privacy terms. Information entered on a sponsored-results service is governed by that provider rather than this policy.
Who May Process the Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs for us. Analytics or advertising services may receive the automatic data already described. We may disclose information when valid legal process requires it, but otherwise do not share visitor data.
How We Protect Your Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. We retain server logs only as long as needed for the purposes above. Because we do not run accounts, there is no password or profile of yours to breach on this site.
Users Under 18
This site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights to access, correct, or delete website-held personal data depend on where a visitor lives. The research did not establish a general North Carolina consumer privacy or data-broker deletion law, so no broader state right is claimed here. We can check our contact mailbox and retained server logs for a request made through the Contact page. Government records held by Cornelius, Mecklenburg County, or North Carolina offices remain under the custodian's control.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
