Information You Submit
Search entries. A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Harrisonburg County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages. An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to read and answer it. A message is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Ordinary web systems may record technical details when a page loads. These records help with operation, security, and performance. They may include:
- internet protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies. Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site. Browser controls can reject or delete them. Blocking cookies may change how some features work.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports routine site functions. It may be used to:
- keep pages available and responsive;
- send a search request to the selected partner;
- measure which content visitors find useful;
- diagnose and repair technical faults; and
- display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Websites Beyond This Domain
Links can lead to Virginia release records, sheriff and corrections pages, courts, federal tools, legal resources, and outside search providers. Each destination controls its own collection, retention, and privacy rules. Review those rules before supplying personal information.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs through the partner’s technology, not as a Harrisonburg jail-record function.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold by this site. Limited information may be handled by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics services that measure traffic;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law enforcement or another public authority acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under the site’s control. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method can be promised as fully secure. The site cannot offer a breach-proof guarantee.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, a visitor may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- erase information that need not be kept; or
- opt out of certain processing.
Virginia public-record access rules govern the government offices linked from this site, not this private site’s technical logs. A request about an official jail or court record must go to its public custodian.
Notice Revisions
This privacy notice may change as services or legal duties change. A revised version will be posted on this page with its new effective date, and continued use will be governed by the posted version.
