Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit to Campbell County Criminal History, the reasons it may be used, and the circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website indicates acceptance of these practices. This private site's handling of visitor data is separate from the Virginia Freedom of Information Act rules that govern qualifying public records held by Campbell County, its towns, and other Virginia public bodies.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Names, places, or other terms entered in a search tool are sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the entry to supply its results. Campbell County Criminal History does not keep or record those query terms on its own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be retained long enough to review and answer it. We do not share that message beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Normal server and analytics functions may collect technical details when a page loads:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Internet Protocol address
  • Referring website, when supplied
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Date and time of each visit

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, such as which pages receive visits and where sessions end. Analytics providers may aggregate that activity. A browser can reject cookies, although blocking them may alter how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Route a search request to the selected partner service
  • Maintain site operation, speed, and availability
  • Diagnose faults and other technical problems
  • Assess which pages visitors use
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Campbell County Criminal History does not compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its content identifies where Campbell County records may be requested, including the Sheriff, Campbell courts, Blue Ridge Regional Jail Authority, Virginia State Police CCRE, and the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. A partner's privacy policy controls information entered into its tool, including its storage and disclosure practices. We do not direct those practices. Review the provider's policy before supplying a name, place, or other query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Campbell County offices, Virginia court portals, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's policy governs the visit. Review that policy before submitting personal data.

Advertising firms may also use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate those tracking systems.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:

  • Analytics vendors measuring performance and traffic
  • Search providers processing a query submitted through their tool
  • Advertising networks placing ads
  • Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, customary safeguards are used for data under our control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, so these measures do not guarantee that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under age 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will remove it.

Your Data Rights

When it applies, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code ยง 59.1-575 et seq., may provide a Virginia consumer with rights concerning covered personal data. The Virginia Freedom of Information Act governs qualifying records held by public bodies and does not turn this private site into a Campbell County records office. Depending on applicable law, a person may be able to:

  • Request access to personal information held about that person
  • Seek correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Ask for deletion when the law provides that right
  • Opt out of covered forms of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A replacement becomes effective when posted with its revised date.

Effective date: August 10, 2026
