Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Nelson County Released Inmates collects, how that information is used, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. It also explains the role of outside search and advertising services. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own system.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected

Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect technical details when a page loads.

  • The network IP address used for the visit
  • The browser name and version
  • The device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time records for requests

Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can block or remove them, though some site or partner features may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

Collected information supports operation, measurement, routing, and maintenance.

  • Operate the pages and monitor performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service
  • Measure which information visitors use
  • Detect and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Outside Websites and Services

Links lead to release records, ACRJ, the Nelson Sheriff, VADOC, courts, federal portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use.

Some advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor advertising. That tracking occurs under the provider's practices.


Limited Data Sharing

Personal information is not sold. It may be received by a service needed for the activity or by an authority acting under valid legal process.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used where practical. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so this site cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a user may exercise available data rights.

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held by the site
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion where the law permits it
  • Opt out of processing where an applicable right exists

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with its new effective date.
