Information You Provide
A name, place, or other term entered in a search widget is sent to the provider operating that tool. The site does not keep a separate log of those search terms. If you send a message, we retain the contact information and content needed to read and respond to it. We do not share a message outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal web operation can collect limited technical information when a page loads. This data helps maintain performance, detect misuse, and understand site operation.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device and operating-system information.
- Pages viewed, referring page, and time spent.
- Access timestamps and similar diagnostic data.
Cookies may be used to understand use of the site. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some functions may work differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and improve the site, route a search request to its provider, answer a message, review traffic patterns, diagnose technical problems, and support advertising where applicable. We do not sell personal information.
Outside Websites and Providers
Links to WVDCR, county offices, courts, and other outside resources lead to services with their own privacy practices. Search partners and advertising providers may process information on their own systems. Some advertising partners may use activity across sites for interest-based advertising; their policies govern that collection.
Who May Receive Data
Information may be available to service providers that help run the site or are required to process a request. It may also be disclosed when lawfully required.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics and site-hosting providers.
- Advertising networks.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security and Age Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has submitted personal information so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask to learn what personal information we hold about you, correct inaccurate contact details, request deletion where applicable, or opt out of certain processing. Send a request through Get in Touch. This notice can change as the site or legal requirements change. A revised notice will be posted here.
