Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message, the information you provide is used to read and answer that message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless required by law, subpoena, court order, or another valid legal process.
Technical Information Collected
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data when a page loads, including:
- Your IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and improve performance. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some features or partner services may work differently after doing so.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Rockingham County jail, court, VADOC, VINELink, BOP, or ICE resource pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken links, page errors, and performance problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Links Beyond This Site
This site links to sheriff and jail pages, court portals, VADOC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, Rockingham County FOIA resources, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and data practices control your activity there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through those partners, not through a separate custody-record database maintained here.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to these categories of recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof. You should avoid sending sensitive personal, legal, financial, medical, or custody details through non-official channels.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Choices and Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate in our own files.
- Ask us to delete personal information we are not legally required to keep.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives you that right.
Policy Changes
This notice may be updated from time to time. Any revised version will be posted on this page with the new effective text.
