Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name or place entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
We retain email or contact submissions long enough to respond and manage the conversation. We do not share their contents outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site may receive routine technical information with a page request, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser type and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and the time spent on them;
- the referring site, when one is supplied; and
- request dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies help us understand site use. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although features may respond differently when cookies are unavailable.
How We Use Information
The limited information described above helps operate the service, route requested functions, and understand whether the pages are working as intended.
- To operate and improve the site's speed and reliability.
- To send a search request to the partner service selected by a visitor.
- To understand which records-guide pages are useful.
- To diagnose and correct technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
External Links and Advertising
This guide links to official sources such as the Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office, the MRRJ roster, and the Virginia Department of Corrections locator, as well as court portals and third-party search tools. Each outside site controls its own privacy practices after you leave this site.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner's policies, not this site's policy.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be received by the following parties when necessary to provide site functions or comply with law:
- Search partners processing a submitted query;
- analytics providers;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that a system will never be compromised.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent us personal information so that it can be addressed.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, the following requests may be available.
- You may ask what personal information we hold about you.
- You may ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- You may request deletion of information we retain.
- You may opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Policy Revisions
We may revise this policy as the site changes. A revised version will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
