Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If an email or contact message is sent, the message and reply address may be kept long enough to respond. Messages are not shared outside the operation of the site unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, the server and related tools may collect basic technical data on each page load.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on page.
- Referring site, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use, remember basic settings, and support ads or analytics. Browser settings can block cookies, but some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages available, readable, and fast.
- Send search requests to the proper partner service.
- Understand which Botetourt County inmate record pages are useful.
- Find technical errors and security issues.
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster tools, Virginia court and corrections resources, federal locators, immigration resources, and private search services. After a click to another site, that site's privacy notice controls how it handles data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or personalize ads across websites. Those activities are handled by the partner, not by the Botetourt County Inmate Population pages.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be disclosed to these limited categories when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected site can be promised as breach proof. Users should avoid sending sensitive personal details that are not needed for a basic message.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, use the contacts page to request deletion.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data held by this site.
- Request correction of inaccurate contact information.
- Ask for deletion where retention is not required.
- Opt out of some types of processing where the law allows.
Notice Updates
This privacy notice may be updated from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with the revised text.
