Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider serving those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we receive the details you choose to include and use them to answer.
Routine Technical Logs
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps diagnose faults and measure page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or comparable technology.
How Information Is Used
We use limited data to run the service, repair errors, count visits, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights to inspect, correct, or delete website-held personal data depend on where you live. The project research found no comprehensive West Virginia data-broker privacy statute to cite here. Because we retain very little, a request generally means checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then deleting responsive material when appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by West Virginia, Kanawha County, or Dunbar offices remain under their custodians' control, so correction or access-limit requests must go to the office holding the record.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
