Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
An email or contact submission may be kept long enough to answer and handle the request. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless doing so is needed to provide the response or is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary web systems may record limited technical details when a page loads. These logs help operate and protect the service.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when supplied
- Date and time of a request
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools can show how visitors move through the pages and may support advertising. A browser can block or remove them, though parts of the site or a partner tool may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation of the site and the delivery of requested tools.
- Maintain performance and availability
- Send a search to the selected partner
- Understand which pages visitors use
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond This Domain
Links may lead to SWVRJA, VADOC, Virginia courts, federal locators, release-record sources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across different sites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems and is governed by their notices.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold as a list. It may be disclosed to limited parties that provide or protect site functions.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard technical and organizational safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access. No website, network, or storage system can be promised as fully secure, so this policy does not offer a breach-proof guarantee.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal data held by this site, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Requests can be sent through the Contacts page. Search providers and advertising partners handle requests about data on their own systems.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site, providers, or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
