Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy policy controls its handling of the query.
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and supplied contact details may be retained long enough to respond. They are not shared outside the site's organization unless the sender requests it or disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics records may capture technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring site, when available; and
- request dates and timestamps.
Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data is used for a limited set of operational tasks:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a search request to the selected partner;
- understanding which guides are useful;
- finding performance and technical problems; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links on this site lead to Southside Regional Jail, VADOC, courts, federal locators, other government resources, and third-party tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. This site does not control how an outside service collects or protects data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites or select interest-based advertising. That processing occurs under the partner's practices, not as a public-record function of this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold by this site. Limited information may be handled by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Government disclosure requests are evaluated under applicable law, including Virginia law when it governs the request.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under this site's control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, and this notice does not make a breach-proof guarantee.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal 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, request correction of inaccurate information, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. These choices do not control records kept by a government office or data held independently by a search, analytics, or advertising partner.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted on this page with its updated content.
