Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or date of birth in a search tool, the entry is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes it and returns results under its own policies. This website does not keep or log the search terms entered into that third-party tool.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If someone emails the publisher, the message is retained so a reply can be sent. It is handled within the publisher's organization and is not disclosed to an outside party unless a legal duty requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a visitor loads a page, the site's servers may receive technical information about that visit, including:
- The time and date of the page request
- The device type and operating system
- The browser and its version
- The Internet Protocol address assigned to the device
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The site that referred the visitor, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. Analytics tools use them to aggregate information about which pages receive visits and where visitors leave. Browser settings can block cookies. Some parts of the service may work differently when cookies are disabled.
What We Do With This Data
Information described above may be used to:
- Keep pages available and improve load speed
- Send a search request to the provider that runs the selected tool
- Measure which pages are useful and where updates may help
- Find and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
Dinwiddie County Warrant Records does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant entries. The site gives general information about where Dinwiddie County records may be held, including the Circuit Clerk, combined GDC/J&DR clerk, and Sheriff's Office. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search tools shown on some pages are run by outside companies. Text submitted into a partner tool is processed under that provider's privacy notice, not this policy. The provider sets its own rules for retention and sharing, which this publisher does not control. Review the provider's notice before submitting personal information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county offices, court systems, the Virginia Judiciary, legal resources, or outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Read those terms before sharing personal information there.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve tailored ads. Those tracking practices are controlled by the partner.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold by the publisher. It may be received by:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
- Search providers handling a submitted query
- Ad networks that place advertisements
- Analytics services measuring site traffic
How We Protect Your Data
Common security measures are used to protect the information the publisher receives. No Internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure. Reasonable safeguards reduce risk, but they cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may use the contact page to request its removal.
Your Data Rights
Visitors may ask the publisher what personal information it holds, request a correction, ask that information be deleted, or ask to opt out of certain processing. Requests can be sent through the site contact route, subject to applicable law and any duty to retain a record.
Virginia's Freedom of Information Act, Code § 2.2-3700 et seq., governs access to existing public records held by public bodies such as courts and county offices. It does not govern visitor information held by this private website. To request a Dinwiddie court or sheriff record, contact the public office that maintains it.
- Ask for a copy of information held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate details
- Ask for deletion where retention is not required
- Opt out of certain data use where available
Updates to This Policy
The privacy terms may be revised over time. A revised version and effective date will appear here. Visitors who want to follow changes should review the policy again when they return.
