Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
If you enter a name, date of birth, or other identifier in a sponsored search box, the information is sent to the outside company operating that tool. The provider handles the query and returns its own results under its privacy terms. We do not keep a local log of the search words you submit through that partner tool. A search query is not sent to the McCormick County Sheriff, Clerk, or court by this website.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you contact the site operator, the message and the address used to send it may be retained so a reply can be made and the inquiry can be handled. Do not send a full case file or sensitive identifying details unless the response requires them. Messages are not routed to McCormick County agencies, and they cannot be used to confirm or change a court record. We may disclose correspondence if a valid legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page is requested, ordinary server and browser systems may record technical information needed to deliver and maintain the site, including:
- The network address used by your device
- Your browser and its version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- The referring page, when available
- Dates and times of page requests
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that a site or service may place on your device. They can support basic operation or help analytics services summarize which pages visitors use. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although an outside search or advertising service may handle its own cookies separately. Blocking them may change how a feature works.
What We Do With This Data
- Delivering pages and maintaining the site
- Forwarding an optional search request to the selected provider
- Understanding aggregate page use and improving site content
- Diagnosing errors or performance problems
- Displaying advertising, which may be selected using provider data
No Warrant Data on File
This website does not host or sell an active-warrant roster, court docket, or personal warrant file for McCormick County. It explains where a record may be held and how a person can ask the relevant agency about a case. Visitor information described in this policy is not combined into a warrant database or a consumer report about another person. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Any query submitted through a sponsored search box is processed by the company that runs that box. The provider sets its own retention, security, and sharing practices. We do not control those policies or receive the provider’s complete data-handling details. Review the provider’s terms before submitting names, dates of birth, or other identifiers.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the McCormick County Sheriff’s Office, Clerk of Court, court portals, South Carolina government sources, or an outside search provider. Once you leave this website, the destination’s privacy policy applies. Check it before entering case or identity information. A government portal’s use of data is determined by that agency, not by this policy.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure visits or select ads across services. Their tracking operates under their policies and settings.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how the site is used, information may be handled by:
- The search provider that receives an optional query
- Analytics services that measure site traffic
- Advertising networks that deliver sponsored content
- A government authority, if a valid legal demand requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No internet service can promise complete security, and an outside provider’s protections are outside our control. Avoid sending sensitive case details through a general site message or a search tool unless you have reviewed the provider and understand what it collects.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under eighteen. If you believe a child has sent information directly to the site operator, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate. Requests sent to an outside search provider must be addressed to that provider.
Your Data Rights
You may contact the site operator to ask what information is associated with a direct message, request correction of a contact detail, or ask that a message be deleted when it is no longer needed. This site does not control information held by a county court, the Sheriff, or an outside search provider. South Carolina’s Freedom of Information Act concerns records of public bodies; it does not create access to private-site visitor files. Requests for a public case record should go to the agency that holds it.
- Ask whether the site operator retains a direct message you sent
- Request correction of inaccurate contact details in that message
- Ask for deletion when retention is no longer needed
- Use browser controls to limit cookies or advertising preferences
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised when the site’s practices change. The current wording and effective date will appear here. A search provider, government office, or court may update its own policy separately.
Effective date: September 22, 2026
