Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when you use Fauquier County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and when it may pass to another party. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Fauquier County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Routine server and analytics records may capture technical details when a page loads. This data helps measure traffic and maintain reliable service.

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. You may block or remove them through browser controls, though some features may work differently without them.


How We Use Information

Collected information serves limited operational and service purposes.

  • Operate the site and improve response speed
  • Send search requests to the selected partner tool
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect faults and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to Fauquier County offices, Virginia corrections resources, courts, release-record portals, or independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not ours.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be received by the limited parties that perform a service or have lawful authority to obtain it.

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics services that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards appropriate to the information and services involved. No website, transmission, or internet-connected storage system can be promised as fully secure or breach-proof.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information may ask us to delete it.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may make the following requests about personal information we hold:

  • Ask for a copy of the information
  • Correct information that is inaccurate
  • Request deletion of the information
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
