Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. That company handles the query and returns its results under its own rules. The reference site does not keep a local history of the terms entered into the provider's search.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent to the contact address may be kept so a reply can be sent and the inquiry can be handled. Access is limited to people working on the response, except when sharing is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
A visit may create routine technical logs. Depending on the hosting and analytics services in use, these can include:
- Your device's network address
- Browser type, version, and operating system
- Pages opened and the time spent on them
- The referring site, when available
- Time and date information tied to a page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and help pages work. Browser settings can block or remove cookies; a feature that relies on them may then behave differently. Analytics providers may combine visit details into general traffic reports.
What We Do With This Data
Visit information supports the following site functions and service needs:
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Passing a search query to the outside service selected by the visitor
- Reviewing overall traffic to improve site content
- Supporting advertisements, where they are served
No Warrant Data on File
The site does not keep an official warrant list, court case file, or database of people's warrant records. It gives general directions to Edgefield County's Clerk of Court, the courts that issue local orders, and the Sheriff's Office that serves them. South Carolina has no single public statewide warrant lookup that replaces those offices. Visitor data is not gathered into consumer reports, and the site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies run the search boxes. Information typed into one is handled under that provider's privacy notice, including its own retention and sharing terms. Those practices are outside the reference site's control, so read the notice before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office, the South Carolina Judicial Branch courthouse directory, case tools, legal services, or a commercial search provider. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy notice applies. Check it before sharing personal details.
An advertising partner may use its own tools to measure activity or tailor ads. Its tracking takes place under that partner's settings and policy.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. In the situations described above, limited data may be handled by:
- Analytics providers that report broad site use
- The outside search service selected by a visitor
- Advertising networks used to display ads
- A government office when a valid legal demand requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet service can promise perfect security, however, and a breach or loss can never be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The intended audience is adults, and the site does not knowingly collect personal details from children under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a child has sent information may use the contact route to request its review and deletion.
Your Data Rights
The choices below are offered for information held by this private reference site. South Carolina's Freedom of Information Act, S.C. Code §§ 30-4-10 et seq., concerns access to public records held by public bodies; it does not create these private-site choices or turn this site into a public agency. You may ask us to:
- Describe the information held about you
- Correct a contact detail that is inaccurate
- Delete information where it is practical and lawful to do so
- Stop a use that is optional, when the relevant service allows it
Updates to This Policy
The policy may be revised as services or practices change. A revised copy will appear here with its effective date, so visitors can review the terms that apply to future use.
Effective date: September 22, 2026
