Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When you enter a name, place, or other term into a search tool, that request is transmitted to the third-party provider operating the tool. Tazewell County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's practices apply once it receives the request.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we keep the message and the contact details you provide as needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.

Our systems and service providers may receive standard technical details when a page loads. These records help deliver the site, measure use, and diagnose faults. They may include:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Your browser name and version
- Your device class and operating system
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of each request

Privacy Beyond This Website
Tazewell County Released Inmates links to SWVRJA, the Virginia Department of Corrections, Virginia court systems, federal locators, release-record sources, and third-party search services. Each destination controls its own collection and use of data. Its privacy policy applies after you follow the link. Access to Virginia public records may also be governed by Virginia FOIA, including ยง 2.2-3704, but that law does not replace a destination's privacy terms for ordinary website use.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to observe activity across websites and select interest-based advertisements. That processing occurs on the partner's systems, not on systems controlled by Tazewell County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still pass to a limited set of parties when needed for the services described here:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information we handle. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, loss, interception, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, they may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data we hold, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information held about you
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal information we are permitted to erase
- Stop certain forms of processing when an opt-out right applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as our services or legal duties change. The updated wording will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and continued use after posting will be subject to the revised notice.
