Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
If you submit a name or birth date through a search box, the outside provider that powers that box receives the query and supplies its results. This site does not keep a copy of those search terms in its own records. Check the provider's privacy terms before entering personal information.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or contact message is retained so we can answer it. It is handled within the site team and is not passed to an outside party unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a browser requests a page, technical information may be recorded as part of normal server operation. This can include:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that may be stored by a site or a service it uses. They can support traffic measurement, including which pages are visited most often and where sessions end. Browser settings can block cookies, though some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing technical faults and keeping pages available
- Routing a submitted search to the provider behind that tool
- Measuring which site pages are useful to visitors
- Supporting page performance and reliability
- Displaying advertising that may reflect browsing interests
No Warrant Data on File
This website does not keep a warrant database or a file of personal warrant records for sale. Its Roanoke County pages point readers to County Police Warrants, the Circuit, GDC, and JDR clerks, and Virginia's case-information service. Visitor information is not compiled here into a consumer report about another person, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. A query is processed under that provider's policy, including its own rules for retention and sharing. Those practices are outside this site's control, so review them before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
The Roanoke County pages link to Police, Sheriff, court, Virginia court-search, and outside service pages. Once you leave this site, the other provider's privacy terms apply. Read those terms before sharing personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or select ads. Their tracking is governed by their own policies.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. Internet systems cannot be made entirely risk-free, so no promise can be made that a security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor has sent information, contact the site so the issue can be reviewed and the information removed where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Virginia's Freedom of Information Act, Va. Code ยง 2.2-3704, governs requests for existing public records held by public bodies such as County offices; it does not make this private site's visitor data a public record. Questions about the site itself may be sent using its contact channel. For a public warrant or court record, ask the relevant Town, County, or court office under the access rules that apply to that record.
- Ask what personal information the site has retained about you
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate
- Ask that information be erased when it is no longer needed
- Ask about choices for certain data uses
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as the site changes. The current version will appear here with its effective date, so check this page when you need the latest description of the site's practices.
Effective date: September 24, 2026
