Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
If you enter a name or other detail into a search box, the third-party company that supplies that tool receives the input and runs its service. The query is sent to that provider, not to the New Kent court system through this reference site. We do not keep a local log of search terms entered into the external tool.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email the site operator, the message and reply address are kept as needed to answer the request. The operator does not share the message outside its organization unless a legal duty requires it or the sender asks for that contact.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, a server may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Internet protocol address or a shortened version
- Browser type, device, and operating system
- Pages viewed, referring page, and time of visit
- Basic diagnostic and security events
These details support site operation and help identify errors or unusual traffic. The site does not use them to confirm a court record or determine a person's warrant status.
How We Use This Data
Information received through email is used to reply, keep a record of the exchange, and handle a site issue. Technical visit data may help keep the pages available, review aggregate usage, and protect the service. Search entries typed into an outside box are handled under that provider's practices; check its policy before submitting a query.
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not own, operate, or store a New Kent warrant database. It does not collect warrant files from the Circuit Clerk, General District Court, JDR Court, or Sheriff's tracking system. A message to the site operator is not an official status request. For a court or service record, contact the office that holds it through the public route listed on the county pages.
The New Kent warrant lookup instructions direct readers to official state and local systems.
Third-Party Search Partners
Some search boxes are supplied by other companies. Those providers may collect query details, account information, device data, and payment information when a person uses a paid service. Their practices are controlled by their own notices and terms. We do not manage their databases or guarantee what a provider returns.
Links to Other Websites
Pages may link to Virginia Courts, New Kent County, the Sheriff's Office, Pamunkey Regional Jail, Crime Stoppers, and federal court resources. When you open an outside site, that site's privacy rules apply. Review its policy before sharing personal details, and use government or official program pages for the purpose they describe.
Who Might See Your Data
The operator and service vendors may access information needed to host, secure, or maintain the website. A third-party search company receives data entered into its box. Information may also be disclosed when a valid legal demand requires it, to address a security problem, or to protect the site's rights. We do not sell New Kent court files because this site does not possess them.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and administrative measures may be used to protect site systems and messages. No website can promise perfect security, and a message sent across the internet may be exposed in transit or on a sender's device. Do not send a Social Security number, juvenile details, sealed case material, or sensitive warrant information to this site's general contact route.
Users Under 18
This site is written for general civic reference and is not directed to children under 13. A child should not submit personal information through a contact form or outside search service. Virginia juvenile court records have legal access limits; this site's search links do not override those restrictions.
Your Data Rights
You may contact the site operator to ask about a message you sent or to request that it be corrected or removed where the law permits. The operator may need to keep a record for legal, security, or business reasons. Requests about court, Sheriff, jail, or FOIA records must go to the New Kent office that maintains the record, not to this website.
Updates to This Policy
The operator may revise this policy as site practices or legal requirements change. The current wording on this page applies after it is posted. A material change will be reflected here; check this page again when using the site after an update.
