Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information typed into a third-party search box goes to that provider for processing and response. The provider's privacy terms apply to the query. The site operator does not store or log the search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message to the site operator, the message may be kept so a reply can be sent. It is not shared outside the operator's team except when law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, technical visit details may be recorded, including:
- Pages viewed and the time spent on each
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating system
- Internet protocol address
- The referring site, when available
- Time and date of page views
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved by a browser. Analytics may use them to group traffic information, such as which pages are visited most or where readers leave. Browser settings can block cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Measure which pages are useful and where they need work
- Keep the site available and improve loading
- Route a search request to the provider selected by the visitor
- Find and repair technical problems
- Show advertisements that may relate to a visitor's interests
No Warrant Data on File
Kershaw County Warrant Records does not host, assemble, maintain, or sell a warrant database or personal warrant files. It gives general directions to the Kershaw Sheriff's Warrants Division, the courts that issue orders, the Clerk of Court, and municipal courts. The site is not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor information is not compiled into reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes are operated by outside providers. Anything entered there is handled under the provider's own privacy rules, including its retention and sharing practices. Those practices are outside the site's control. Review the partner's policy before submitting information.
Links to Other Websites
Pages may link to Kershaw County offices, South Carolina courts, state services, legal resources, or search companies. Opening an outside link takes the visitor under that operator's privacy policy. Check its terms before sharing personal details.
Some ad partners may track activity across websites on their own systems to choose advertisements. That tracking is controlled by the partner.
Who Might See Your Data
The site does not sell personal data. Information may be processed by:
- Advertising services that place ads
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic
- Search partners receiving the queries entered in their tools
- A government or law-enforcement body when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
The operator uses ordinary security measures to protect information it collects. Internet systems cannot be guaranteed secure, so no promise can be made that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's information is believed to have been submitted, the operator will delete it when notified through an available contact route.
Your Data Rights
South Carolina's Freedom of Information Act, S.C. Code Title 30, Chapter 4, governs public records held by public bodies such as courts and sheriff's offices. It does not turn this private site into a public office or provide access to the site's visitor data. Where applicable law allows, a visitor may ask the site operator to:
- Request a copy of information the operator holds about them
- Seek correction of information that is inaccurate
- Ask for deletion of personal information
- Use available browser or advertising controls to limit certain processing
Updates to This Policy
The policy may be revised as site practices change. A new version and effective date will be posted here when that happens. Visitors can review it again to see what information is handled.
Effective date: 2026-09-22
