Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other lookup detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, if one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, though some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Albemarle County inmate-record pages are useful to readers.
- To diagnose errors, security events, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Links
This site links to ACRJ pages, Virginia VINE, Virginia court portals, VADOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, government resources, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy notice and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking happens through their platforms, not through an official Albemarle County government system.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by this site. It may be available to limited parties when needed for site operation or legal compliance.

Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof or error-free.
