Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or similar detail into a search box operated by a third-party provider, that search is sent to the provider running the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return contact details may be kept long enough to respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, subpoena, court order, or another valid legal process.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site may receive technical data when pages load. That information helps operate the site and understand how visitors use Hoke County jail, court, and locator resources.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used for analytics, advertising, and basic site operation. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used

- Send search requests to the partner service that operates a search tool.

Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to Hoke County Sheriff's Office materials, Hoke County Detention Center information, NC eCourts, NCDAC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination website control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Hoke County or any public office.
