Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you enter a name or date of birth into a search box, the outside provider operating that tool receives the query and returns its results. The provider's own policy governs how it processes that information. This website does not store or log the terms entered into the box on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email the site operator, the message may be retained so it can be reviewed and answered. It is not shared outside the operator's team unless a service provider handles it or law requires disclosure. Do not send sensitive warrant or court information to this site.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server and related services may record technical details such as:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files kept by a browser or service. This site may use them and analytics services to understand aggregate visits, such as which pages receive traffic. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some functions may behave differently afterward.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Forwarding searches to the provider that operates a search box
- Understanding which pages visitors use and where site improvements may help
- Diagnosing errors, performance problems, and security issues
- Supporting advertising and sponsored search features
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of Newport News warrants or personal warrant records. The city's active table is published by NNPD; court records belong to the court, and jail or surrender information belongs to the Sheriff's Office. Virginia OCIS is a case-search service, not a public statewide warrant-status system. Visitor information described in this policy is not assembled into a warrant file about another person or a consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are operated by outside providers. A name, date of birth, or other information submitted there is processed under the provider's policy. The provider sets its own retention and sharing practices, which this website does not control. Review that policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Newport News agency pages, Virginia court services, and outside search providers. Opening one takes you to another operator whose privacy policy and practices control. Review its terms before sharing personal details.
Advertising or analytics partners may collect information through their own systems. Their collection and use are governed by their policies and settings.
Who Might See Your Data
Information may be processed by service providers or disclosed in circumstances such as these:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Government bodies when a valid legal demand requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used to protect information handled by the site and its service providers. Internet systems still carry risk, and no method can promise complete protection against every incident or unauthorized access.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not designed to collect information from children under 18. If you believe a child has sent information to the site operator, ask that the information be reviewed and removed where applicable law permits.
Your Data Rights
Your rights depend on your location, the type of information, and the organization that holds it. You may ask a service provider about information submitted to its search box. Virginia FOIA covers records held by Newport News public bodies, not the private records of this website. Depending on applicable law, requests may include:
- Ask what information an organization holds about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information where that right applies
- Request deletion where applicable law permits
- Use available choices to limit certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices or applicable requirements change. The current version appears here with its effective date; review it periodically if you continue to use the site.
Effective date: September 24, 2026
