Information You Provide
Search Terms
Names, places, or other terms typed into a sponsored search box are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. James City County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own public-record database.
Messages
If you email or send a contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to respond, document the request, and manage ordinary site operations. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for it.

How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and fast.
- To route search requests to the partner tool selected by the visitor.
- To understand which James City County jail and court pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken links, display problems, and security issues.
- To support ads that may reflect general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to Virginia jail rosters, court portals, sheriff and corrections pages, public-record resources, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and provide interest-based ads. That tracking is controlled by the partner, not by James City County or any Virginia public office.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone mailing list. It may be available to limited parties that help run the site or that have a lawful right to receive it.
- Search partners that process sponsored queries.
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that support display ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal demand.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect site data, but no internet-connected service can be promised as fully secure. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive legal, medical, financial, or identity documents through ordinary contact channels.
