Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when visitors use Shenandoah County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, including pages that link to jail, court, Virginia FOIA, or third-party search resources, visitors accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

When a name, location, or other detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Shenandoah County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, or another valid legal process.


Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads. That information is used to operate the site and understand basic visitor activity.

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser type and browser version.
  • Device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time stamps for visits and requests.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics features. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some site features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • To keep pages available, responsive, and functional.
  • To send search requests to the appropriate third-party search provider.
  • To understand which Shenandoah County inmate, jail, and court-record pages visitors use most.
  • To diagnose broken links, loading problems, and other technical issues.
  • To display advertising that may be based on broad visitor interests.

Links Away From This Site

Pages may link to RSW Regional Jail resources, Shenandoah County offices, Virginia court portals, the Virginia Department of Corrections, VINELink, federal locators, Virginia FOIA materials, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across multiple websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not through records hosted by this site.


Who May Receive Information

Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be available to limited outside parties that help operate or support the site.

  • Search partners that process queries entered into their tools.
  • Analytics providers used to measure site traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security Practices

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure, so this notice does not promise that unauthorized access, errors, or interruptions can never happen.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.


Your Choices and Rights

  • Ask for a copy of personal information held by the site.
  • Request correction of information that is inaccurate.
  • Ask that personal information be deleted where deletion is legally and technically available.
  • Opt out of certain processing, including some advertising or analytics activity, where applicable.
