Information Visitors Provide
Search Queries
When a visitor types a name, location, or similar lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Williamsburg County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Requests
If someone emails us or sends a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and reply. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site may collect technical data when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.
- IP address used for the visit.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps for activity.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and improve performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- Keep the pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Route search requests to the search partner selected by the visitor.
- Understand which Williamsburg County custody and records pages are useful.
- Find errors, broken links, security issues, or performance problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests or activity.
Links Away From This Site
The site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, VINELink, BOP, ICE, government portal, and third-party search pages. After a visitor follows one of those links, the privacy policy of the destination site controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity or show targeted ads across websites. Those tracking practices happen under the partner's policies, not as an official Williamsburg County record process.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by limited outside parties that support the site or respond to lawful demands.
- Search partners that process visitor lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, email system, analytics tool, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure.
