Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or birth date entered into a search box is sent to the company operating that search tool. That provider processes the query and returns its own results. Charlotte County Warrant Records does not retain or log the terms entered in that box on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we keep the message long enough to read and respond. It is handled by our team and is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, technical logs may record details about the connection and visit:
- Page-view times and the pages requested
- Your device and operating system type
- The browser name and version
- The referring site, when one is provided
- The IP address used to connect
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved by a browser. We use them and analytics services to understand broad traffic patterns, such as which pages are visited. You can block or clear cookies in your browser controls, though some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending a search request to the provider operating that tool
- Measuring general page use and improving site content
- Displaying advertisements, which may use partner systems
No Warrant Data on File
Charlotte County Warrant Records does not host or sell a warrant database, named warrant roster, or personal warrant file. The site provides general directions to the Sheriff’s Office, Charlotte Circuit, GDC, and JDR clerks, plus Virginia’s public case-information service. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes are run by external companies. Information submitted through a box is handled under that provider’s privacy terms, including its retention and sharing rules. We do not control those practices. Read the provider’s notice before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Charlotte Sheriff’s Office, Virginia court pages, federal court sites, legal resources, or commercial search providers. A linked site has its own privacy rules. Review those terms before sharing personal information there.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to tailor ads across sites. Any such tracking is managed by the partner, not by this reference site.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by these service groups:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal demand
- Companies that receive search-box queries
- Analytics providers measuring site performance
- Advertising networks that serve ads on pages
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable security steps for the information handled by this site. Internet systems still carry risk, so no method can promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 18. If you believe a minor has sent information directly to us, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code §59.1-577, provides certain rights when the law applies to a business and its data practices. Its scope rules matter, so not every site or activity is covered. A Virginia consumer may be able to:
- Ask whether personal data is processed and request access
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Request deletion of personal data
- Obtain a portable copy or opt out of targeted ads, sale, or certain profiling
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as site practices change. The revised text will appear here with a new effective date. Review it from time to time if you want to track how information is handled.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
