York Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when someone uses York County Released Inmates, why it is used, and which outside services may receive it. Government pages and third-party search tools have their own privacy practices.

Information You Submit

A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. A message or email sent directly to the site may be retained long enough to answer it and manage the exchange. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data and Cookies

Routine technical information may be recorded when a page loads. It helps keep the service stable, understand broad use patterns, and diagnose faults.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page, when supplied
  • Date and time of the request

Cookies may be used to measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports limited operational purposes:

  • Deliver pages and keep the service responsive
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Measure which York County resources are useful
  • Find and correct technical problems
  • Present advertising that may reflect general interests

Outside Pages and Services

Links lead to VPRJ, York County offices, Virginia courts, VADOC, federal locators, statutes, and outside search providers. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy notice controls its collection and use. Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites. That collection occurs on their systems, not under this site’s direct control.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a customer list. Limited data may still be received by:

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

Security Has Practical Limits

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information under the site’s control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, uninterrupted protection, or immunity from every unauthorized event.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the request, a person may ask for:

  • A copy of personal data held by the site
  • Correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Deletion of information that need not be kept
  • An opt-out from certain forms of processing

These choices cover data controlled by this site. Requests about a sheriff, jail, court, VADOC, or search provider must go to that separate custodian.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services, laws, or data practices change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting is governed by the version then shown.
