Roanoke Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information this site receives, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search entries

A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

An email or contact message may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected

Ordinary page requests can produce basic service and analytics data, including:

  • internet protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • the referring site, when available;
  • request dates and timestamps.

Cookies and controls

Cookies help measure site use and support site functions. Most browsers allow visitors to block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports the operation of the service.

  • Keep pages available and responsive.
  • Send search requests to the selected partner.
  • Measure which resources readers use.
  • Diagnose errors and security issues.
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Links and Advertising Systems

Links may lead to Sheriff or corrections pages, release-record portals, other government systems, and third-party search tools. The destination’s privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising providers may collect activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs within their systems and under their rules.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be received by:

  • search partners that process a submitted query;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising networks;
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used where practical. No internet-connected service is breach-proof, so absolute security cannot be promised.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:

  • ask for a copy of personal data held here;
  • request correction of inaccurate data;
  • request deletion of eligible data;
  • object to or opt out of certain processing.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revision will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
