Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or other details into a search box, the information is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes it under its own service and privacy terms. The reference site does not maintain a database of warrant searches or case records.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message through an available contact method, the information in that message may be retained so a response can be made. It is not shared outside the operating team unless law or a valid legal demand requires it. Avoid sending unnecessary private case or identity details in an ordinary message.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, routine server and browser logs may record technical details about that visit. Depending on the host and browser, those details can include:
- The network address used by the device
- Browser name, version, and operating system
- Device type and screen settings
- Pages opened and time spent on them
- The page or site that referred the visit
- Time and date of the request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Site or analytics services may use them to understand aggregate traffic, such as which pages are visited or whether a page has a technical fault. Browser settings usually allow cookies to be blocked or removed. Some functions may change when they are disabled.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep pages available and improve loading
- Send a search request to the provider that runs the selected tool
- See which public-reference topics visitors use
- Find and repair site errors
- Display advertising or sponsored search placements
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of Prince George County warrants or personal case entries. It provides general information about public sources, including Virginia OCIS, the Circuit Clerk, the combined GDC/JDR clerk, the Sheriff's Office, and the County FOIA route. Those offices maintain records according to their roles and the law. Visitor information is not turned into consumer reports or a privately held warrant roster.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes may be run by outside companies. Information entered into a tool is handled under that provider's privacy policy, data-retention terms, and service rules. Those providers set their own prices and control their own results. Review the provider's terms before submitting personal details. A third-party search is not an official warrant check; confirm a court matter with the office that keeps the file.
Links to Other Websites
Pages may link to the Virginia Judiciary, county offices, court forms, Virginia Code, or other services. Following a link takes the visitor to another organization with its own privacy practices. Read those terms before sharing information there.
Advertising services may use their own tools to measure activity or tailor an ad. Those systems are controlled by the outside provider rather than by the county courts or this reference site's record links.
Who Might See Your Data
The operator does not sell personal data. Information may be handled by service providers that support the site or by an authority when a valid legal requirement applies, including:
- The search provider that receives an entered query
- Analytics services that measure traffic and errors
- Advertising partners that display placements
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under valid legal authority
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used for information handled by the site. No internet transmission or stored system can be promised completely secure. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive case details when the information is not needed for the question.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. The operator does not knowingly seek personal details from a person under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information may use an available site contact method to request that it be reviewed.
Your Data Rights
Rights over visitor information depend on the laws that apply to the operator and the person. The Virginia Freedom of Information Act, Virginia Code ยง2.2-3700 et seq., covers qualifying records held by public bodies. It does not create a FOIA request route for private visitor data held by this site. Court case records also follow clerk-access statutes and rules, not a private site's privacy process.
For a county-held public record, contact the County FOIA Officer. For a court record, ask the clerk that keeps the case. For information submitted to a search provider, review that provider's own privacy terms and request process.
Updates to This Policy
These privacy terms may change as the site or its service providers change. When revised text is published, the effective date below will be updated. Review the policy again before using a search tool if its handling of information matters to you.
Effective date: September 24, 2026
