Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when someone uses Spotsylvania County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and when it may reach another party. It also explains cookies, security limits, and visitor choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's policy controls what happens after the query leaves this site.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or use a contact form, we retain enough of the message and reply details to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Normal web operations may record limited technical details when a page loads. This information helps measure performance and diagnose faults.

  • The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device class and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • Date and time stamps tied to a request.

How Cookies Function

Cookies help show how visitors move through the site and may support advertising or basic preferences. A browser can reject or remove cookies. Some features may then behave differently or provide less consistent results.


Purposes for Using Data

Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and measurement.

  • Keep pages available and responsive.
  • Send a requested search to the appropriate partner.
  • Understand which content visitors use.
  • Detect and correct technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests.

Other Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to RRJ release information, Virginia court or corrections pages, federal locators, and outside search providers. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice governs its collection and use of data.

Some advertising companies may track activity across different websites to select ads. That activity occurs through their systems and is subject to their controls, not ours.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to these parties when needed for the described purpose:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site activity.
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information may contact us to request deletion.


Choices About Personal Data

Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may make the following requests:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Correct personal information that is wrong.
  • Request deletion of personal data.
  • Opt out of certain processing when that choice is available.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
