Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes what information Tazewell County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. It covers search requests sent to outside providers, messages sent to us, routine technical logs, cookies, analytics, and advertising services. It also explains security limits and the choices available to visitors. By continuing to use the site, you acknowledge the practices described below.

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.


Routine Technical Information

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

Cookie Settings

Cookies and similar tools help us understand how visitors use the site and support certain features. You can block or remove cookies through your browser settings. Some functions may work differently or become unavailable when cookies are disabled.


How Information Supports Operations

Information received through normal site use may be used to:

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the appropriate partner service
  • Learn which Tazewell County record pages visitors find useful
  • Detect errors and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

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.
