Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or other search detail into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact option, we use the information you provide to review and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for it.

Links Away From This Site
This site links to ACRJ, the Nelson County Sheriff's Office, Virginia VINE, VADOC, Virginia court pages, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy terms control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad measurement or interest-based advertising. Those practices occur on partner systems, not through a local inmate record database hosted here.

- Advertising networks that support ad delivery and reporting.
- Law-enforcement or government entities when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be free from unauthorized access, outages, or data loss.
