Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other details typed into a search tool are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, routine technical data may be collected when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use and improve performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features or advertising controls may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, fast, and usable.
- To route search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose technical problems and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Links to Other Websites
The site links to sheriff pages, WVDCR locators, court portals, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and outside search services. After a visitor follows one of those links, that outside site controls its own privacy practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. Those practices are governed by the partner's policies, not this notice.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by this site. It may be available to limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners processing a visitor's query.
- Analytics providers measuring site performance.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system can be promised as breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless necessary.
