Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
If you enter a name or date of birth into a sponsored search box, the outside provider receives and processes that query under its own policy. The provider returns its results. This policy describes the site's handling of visitor information, not the provider's separate service.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent to the site's operator may be kept so a reply can be sent and the inquiry can be handled. It is not shared outside the organization unless law or a valid legal demand requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a browser loads a page, the service may receive routine technical details about the visit, such as:
- 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 stored by a browser. They can help measure page use, including which pages receive visits and where a session ends. Analytics services may combine that traffic information. Browser settings can block cookies, though some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Maintaining the pages and fixing technical problems.
- Routing a sponsored query to the provider that runs that search box.
- Measuring traffic to understand which pages need changes.
- Displaying advertising, which may be selected by outside partners.
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host or sell a database of Pittsylvania County warrants or personal warrant files. It describes public routes such as Virginia's OCIS case search, the issuing courts, and the Sheriff's curated Wanted Persons notice. There is no public statewide Virginia warrant search. Visitor information is not assembled here into consumer reports or case files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Sponsored search boxes are operated by outside companies. Information entered there is governed by the provider's privacy terms, including its retention and sharing rules. The site operator does not control those practices. Read the provider's policy before using its service.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to official Pittsylvania County and Virginia court pages, including OCIS, as well as outside search services. Once you leave this site, the other operator's privacy policy applies. Review it before sending personal information.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites or choose ads. Their tracking is governed by their terms.
Who Might See Your Data
The site does not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- The search provider selected when a visitor uses its tool.
- Analytics services that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- A government body when a valid legal process requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet service can guarantee that a breach will never occur, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If a minor has submitted information, the site's operator may be contacted to review the request.
Your Data Rights
Virginia's Freedom of Information Act, Va. Code ยงยง2.2-3700 et seq., governs access to public records held by public bodies. It does not make this private site a government records office. Rights over personal information handled by a private service depend on the laws that apply to the person and the service. A visitor may ask the operator about:
- Whether information about the visitor is held by the site.
- Correction of information that is inaccurate.
- Deletion of information where applicable law permits.
- Objection to processing when the law provides that right.
Updates to This Policy
The operator may revise this policy. A revised copy and effective date will appear here when a change is made. Review it from time to time to see how site practices are described.
Effective date: September 24, 2026
