Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when someone uses Charles City County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and when service providers or legal authorities may receive it. Using the site means accepting these practices. A linked government portal or search partner applies its own privacy terms after a visitor leaves this site.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Charles City County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may collect and process the query under its separate policy.

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the submitted address, name, and message are retained as needed to respond and maintain the exchange. Contact messages are not shared beyond the organization unless the sender requests it or disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Routine web technology may collect limited technical and usage details when a page loads. Those details can include:

  • The visitor's internet protocol address.
  • Browser name, type, and version.
  • Device class and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent.
  • The referring page or site, when supplied.
  • Dates and timestamps tied to the visit.

Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the pages. Most browsers let users restrict or remove cookies. Blocking them may cause a search, preference, or advertising feature to work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports the operation and improvement of the site. It may be used to:

  • Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
  • Pass a requested search to the correct partner.
  • Learn which Charles City County resources are useful.
  • Detect errors, abuse, and technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect broad interests.

Sites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to Riverside Regional Jail Authority, Charles City courts, the Virginia Department of Corrections, release-record portals, federal locators, or outside search providers. The destination's privacy notice governs once it is opened. This site does not control how another organization collects, retains, or discloses information.

Advertising companies may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure activity across more than one site and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not through a Charles City County government database operated here.


When Data May Be Shared

Personal information is not sold. It may be provided only to parties that perform a needed function or receive it under lawful authority, including:

  • Search partners that process a visitor's submitted query.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that place or assess ads.
  • Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.

Security Has Practical Limits

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or electronic transfer is completely secure. Charles City County Released Inmates cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, accessed improperly, lost, or exposed despite those efforts.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. 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 verification, a user may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information held by the site.
  • Correct information that is inaccurate.
  • Delete information that no longer must be kept.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

These requests concern data held by this site. RRJA, VADOC, courts, search partners, and other linked sources manage requests about their own records and systems.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site features, providers, or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
