Some information that you submit to us through this website may be protected by encryption technology, whereas other information may not. Unless a particular webpage on this site indicates that encryption technology is being used, you should not assume that information you submit through that webpage will be secure.
If you submit information to our server through a web page containing visible indicators of active encryption technology, we will take reasonable precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of such information. However, no website can protect itself against all eventualities.

Use of Cookies
Cookies or other technology may transfer information from this website to your hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies or similar technology can make the internet more useful by storing information about your preferences on a particular site.
The use of cookies or similar technology is an industry standard, and this website, like many others, uses them to provide useful features for our users.
Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify you, although they do identify your computer. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies. However, you may not be able to take full advantage of this web site if you do so.
Public Records
The Town of Rolesville is governed by the North Carolina public records laws. This means that the information we receive online will be disclosed to any person making a public records request, unless the record is exempted from disclosure. Only very narrowly defined types of information (such as electronic payment information and Social Security numbers) are exempt from disclosure as public records.
If you have questions about the North Carolina public records laws, refer to NC General Statutes Chapter 132. For purposes of determining whether information is a public record, information sent to us through this website is treated the same as information sent to us by mail or delivered to us in person.
Public Records Requests
Children
No applications on this website specifically solicit information from minors or seek to determine whether the visitor is a minor. Consequently, visitors should be aware that the collection of personal information requested from or volunteered by children online or by email will be treated in the same manner as information given by an adult.
Among other things, this means that it will be public record and therefore will be subject to public access. We ask that parents guide their children when children are asked to provide personal information online. We ask that children get their parents' permission before providing any information to us.
