Information You Submit
Search forms send the name, phone number, or address entered to the outside provider that supplies the results. Asheville People Search does not retain a copy of those queries on its own servers. A direct message contains only what the sender chooses to provide, and that information is used to answer the message.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard server logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. Aggregated logs help maintain the service and show which resources visitors use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How Information Is Used
The limited data described above supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and content improvements. We neither sell a visitor list nor create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to government portals, Buncombe County and North Carolina records offices, library collections, and outside search tools. Data submitted on those services is controlled by their privacy policies, not this one. Sponsored search results are also supplied by a separate company.
When Data May Be Shared
Hosting and support providers process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatically collected data described above. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it; visitor data is not otherwise shared.
Safeguarding Your Data
An encrypted connection serves the site, and server logs are kept only as long as necessary for the stated purposes. Since visitor accounts do not exist, Asheville People Search holds no account password or user profile.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Contact us if a minor may have submitted information so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights to access, correct, or delete data depend on where a visitor lives. No comprehensive North Carolina consumer-privacy law presently creates a universal data-broker deletion or opt-out right. Because Asheville People Search holds little visitor data, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs and removing available material. Submit a request through the Contact page. Public records maintained by Asheville, Buncombe County, or North Carolina offices remain under the custodian’s control.
Updates to This Policy
Any revision will appear on this page. Continued use after a revised policy is posted indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
