Information You Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or other search term into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Pulaski County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own inmate-record database.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep your name, email address, message content, and related details long enough to read and respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when pages load. That information can include:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, support advertising, and diagnose technical problems. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features may behave differently after doing so.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct third-party search provider.
- To understand which Pulaski County jail and record pages visitors use most.
- To find errors, broken links, and performance issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or page activity.
Links Outside This Site
Pages may link to New River Valley Regional Jail, Pulaski County offices, Virginia court portals, VADOC, VINELink, federal locators, vendor services, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the outside website control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or tracking tools to measure ads or personalize ads across websites. Those activities take place on their systems, not in an official Pulaski County record system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information as a standalone list. Information may be available to the following categories of recipients when needed for the site to operate or when required by law:
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks and ad measurement services.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable technical and administrative practices intended to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected website, email account, analytics service, or search partner can be promised to be completely secure.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us through the contact page so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
