Information You Enter
Search Terms
If you type a name, location, or other search detail into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that request is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or otherwise contact us, we may keep your name, email address, message, and related details long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical and usage details when pages load, including visits to Nottoway pages that discuss Sheriff Robert Jones, Piedmont Regional Jail, Nottoway Correctional Center, or Nottoway Work Center.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site, measure traffic, support advertising, and keep features working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How The Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To learn whether pages about PRJ custody, VADOC lookup, court records, or Nottoway FOIA are useful.
- To identify broken links, loading problems, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Links To Other Websites
This site links to public and private resources, including jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, Virginia courts pages, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the destination website's privacy policy controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to understand activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Nottoway County government office or this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal contact messages. Limited information may be made available to the following parties when needed for the site to operate or when legally required.
- Search partners that process a query entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for this site, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure. We cannot promise that information sent online will be immune from unauthorized access.
