Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method, we use the information you provide to read and respond to that message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and how pages perform. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Sussex County jail, court, and facility pages visitors use.
- To find errors, broken pages, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, court portals, VADOC resources, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Sussex County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to these categories of recipients when needed for site operations or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal process.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small informational website. No internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof, and we cannot guarantee that data transmission or storage will always be secure.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Ask us to delete information when deletion is reasonably available.
