Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or date of birth into one of the search tools on our site, that input goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the search. They process it and return results. We do not store or log the search terms you enter on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send us an email, we keep that message so we can reply. Your message stays within our team. We will not share it with anyone outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details about the visit:
- 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
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that let us see how visitors use the site - which pages get the most traffic and where people tend to drop off. Analytics services help us aggregate that traffic data. Your browser settings let you block cookies whenever you want. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
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 databases of warrants or personal warrant-record information. Virginia OCIS supplies public case information, while Appomattox County's court clerks and Sheriff's Office maintain their own official records. The county publishes no public active-warrant roster. A court or FOIA request must go to the public office that holds the requested record; this private reference does not receive or retain those case files. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links include Virginia court information, Appomattox County Sheriff's Office pages, official public-record resources, and third-party search tools. Clicking an external link takes you to a different operator whose privacy policy governs that visit. Review it before sharing personal details. Public requests to a Virginia agency are subject to Virginia FOIA, Va. Code §2.2-3704, and other applicable access rules.
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. Some information may end up with:
- 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 follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.
Your Data Rights
For a question about information sent directly to this private publisher, use the contact method described in the applicable message or service policy. A request to Appomattox County for an existing public record goes to the public office holding it under Virginia FOIA, Va. Code §2.2-3704; this site cannot make that request for you. For information held by an official court or law-enforcement agency, contact that office about its records and rules.
- Ask whether a message or contact detail is retained by the private publisher
- Request correction of information supplied directly to us, where applicable
- Ask whether visitor information can be deleted from our records
- Contact an outside search partner directly about its handling of a submitted query
Updates to This Policy
We may change this privacy policy down the road. When we do, the updated version goes up on this page with a new effective date. Check back if you want to keep tabs on how we handle your information.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
