Information You Choose to Send
Search entries
When you enter a name or date into a search box on the site, the query goes to the outside provider that runs that tool. The provider processes it under its own practices and returns results. We do not keep or log the search terms on our own system.
Messages to us
If you email or send a contact message, we keep it so we can read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless a valid legal duty requires that step.
Technical Details Collected on Visits
When a page loads, the server may receive ordinary technical details about the visit, including:
- Your device's IP address
- The browser and its version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages opened and time spent on each
- The referring site, when one is provided
- Time stamps for page views
Cookies and traffic counts
Cookies are small files kept by a browser. This site uses them and analytics tools to see which pages get visits and where people leave. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some site functions may then work differently.
How We Use Visitor Information
- To keep pages available and responsive
- To send a search query to the provider chosen for that tool
- To learn which reference pages are useful
- To spot and repair technical problems
- To display advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests
No Hampton Warrant Data Is Stored Here
Hampton City Warrant Records does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of warrant entries or case files. The site provides general information about Hampton Police, the courts, and official public search routes. We are not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor data is not assembled into reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Providers
Search boxes on this site are operated by outside companies. Information entered into a box is handled under that provider's privacy terms, not this policy. The provider sets its own retention and sharing rules. Review those rules before submitting a query.
Links and Advertising Outside This Site
Links point to Hampton agencies, Virginia courts, state records, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. A click takes you to a separate operator. Read its privacy statement before sending personal information.
Some ad partners may track activity across other websites for targeting. That tracking takes place on their systems and follows their terms.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- A search provider when you submit a query in its box
- Analytics services that measure site use
- Advertising networks that place ads
- Law-enforcement or public agencies when a valid legal order requires it
Steps Taken to Protect Information
We use common security measures to guard the information we handle. Internet systems can still fail or be breached, so we cannot promise that every file or message will always stay secure.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This reference is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal details from anyone under eighteen. If you believe a minor sent us information, use the contact page to request that it be removed.
