Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other search term into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to answer and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load, mainly to operate the site, spot errors, and understand traffic patterns.

- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on each page.
- Referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure site use and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently when cookies are limited.
How Data Is Used

Outside Websites
This site links to government pages, jail rosters, Virginia court and correctional portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site apply.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. Those tracking choices are controlled by the advertising partner, not by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a mailing list or standalone product. It may be received by limited service providers or authorities when needed.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that help measure use and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be made fully secure, so this site cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or misused.
