Information You Send
Search Entries
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search tool may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store those search entries in its own records, but the provider may process them under its own privacy terms.
Messages and Email
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, or another valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when a page loads. This information helps measure traffic, detect errors, and keep the site usable.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics features. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some functions may load or behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for limited site, search, and support purposes.
- To keep pages available, fast, and readable.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To learn which pages are useful to visitors.
- To identify broken links, errors, and security issues.
- To display ads that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, Virginia public-record resources, corrections locators, federal locator tools, and third-party search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination website's own privacy policy controls what it collects and how it uses that information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad performance or show interest-based ads across different websites. That tracking is controlled by the advertising partner, not by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone customer list. It may be made available only to service providers and parties that help operate the site or respond to lawful demands.
- Search partners that process search-tool queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and errors.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a deletion request may be sent for review.
