Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you enter a name or other query into a search box supplied by an outside provider, the provider processes the input and returns results under its own practices. We do not maintain an Orange County warrant database, and searches through an outside tool are not an official county warrant check.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send a message through a contact channel made available by the site operator, its contents and reply details may be retained so the operator can respond. Such a message is not sent to Orange County court clerks or the Sheriff’s Office. Information may be disclosed if a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page on this site loads, server or analytics systems may record 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 on your device. This site may use them and analytics services to understand broad traffic patterns, such as which pages receive visits. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, though some site functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell Orange County warrant records or personal warrant databases. It provides general guidance about public court case information and local court and law-enforcement contacts. Virginia FOIA, including Code § 2.2-3704, concerns access to records held by public bodies; it does not make this private site an Orange County records custodian. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Some search boxes link to services operated by outside companies. Information submitted to those tools is processed under the provider’s own privacy notice. Each provider sets its retention and sharing practices, which this site does not control. Review those terms before entering information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Orange County departments, Virginia court systems, or private services. After leaving this site, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Read them before submitting personal information or a search query.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Depending on how you use the pages, information may be available to:
- 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
We use reasonable security practices intended to protect information handled by this site. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information through a site channel, ask the site operator to review it.
Your Data Rights
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Code §§ 59.1-575–59.1-585, provides rights to consumers when the law applies. Its coverage has thresholds and exemptions under § 59.1-576. Covered consumers may have the rights described in § 59.1-577, including:
- Confirm whether covered personal data is processed and access it
- Request correction of inaccuracies, subject to the law
- Request deletion of personal data provided by or obtained about you
- Obtain a portable copy or opt out of certain processing, as the statute provides
Whether the Act applies depends on statutory coverage and exemptions. Virginia FOIA governs public-body records requests, not requests for visitor data held by this private site.
