Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, location, or other query into a search box operated by a third-party provider, the terms go to that provider for processing. Wythe County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s rules and privacy practices apply to its service.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we keep the message and the contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Web services create basic technical records when a page loads. This data helps operate the site, measure traffic, and diagnose faults. It may include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- The pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Dates and times associated with visits.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site or advertising functions. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings. Some features may work differently when cookie storage is disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports ordinary site operations and service improvement. In particular, it may be used to:
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect, investigate, and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Other Sites and Services
Links may lead to New River Valley Regional Jail, the Wythe County Sheriff, Virginia courts, VADOC, release-record portals, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s own privacy notice and terms govern its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems and is controlled by their policies, not by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may reach service providers or authorities when needed for the functions described in this notice:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics vendors that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Is Best Effort
We use standard safeguards intended to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, or internet transmission is fully secure. We therefore cannot guarantee that a breach, interception, or technical failure will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information directly to us, use the Get in Touch page to request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of what we hold, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data kept about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that eligible personal information be erased.
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as services, practices, or legal requirements change. A revised notice takes effect when posted here, along with an updated effective date when appropriate.
