Information You Send Directly
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar detail into a search box powered by a partner service, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or message related to the site, the message and reply address may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be collected when a page loads, including visits to pages about PRJ, VADOC, ICE, BOP, Virginia VINE, Virginia FOIA, and Caroline court record routes.
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages
- Referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some site or partner functions may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search activity to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Caroline County custody and records pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical performance issues.
- To display ads that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Other Websites and Public-Records Links
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, Virginia FOIA resources, ICE and BOP locators, Virginia VINE, and third-party search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control that activity.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites for measurement or interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by the advertising partner, not by a government office in Caroline County.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a mailing list. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when required by law.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that help measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure, so this notice does not promise that data is breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request review or deletion.
Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information the site maintains.
- Request correction of information that is wrong.
- Ask for deletion when retention is not required.
- Opt out of some processing where the law gives that right.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be updated as services, partner tools, legal requirements, or advertising practices change. A revised version takes effect when posted on this page with the current wording.
