Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that feature. The provider processes the query under its own terms and supplies the response. We do not keep a separate site log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or direct message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains internal unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine server and analytics logs can record technical details when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They support traffic measurement, such as which pages are used and when visitors leave. Analytics providers may combine that activity into reports. A browser can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing faults and maintaining site security
- Routing a submitted query to the chosen outside service
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Improving speed and page performance
- Supporting advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal-record information is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The site identifies where Raleigh County records can be requested, including the sheriff, the criminal courts, the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, WVDCR, and the West Virginia Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a record about another person, and the site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern information entered there, including retention and sharing decisions that this site does not control. Review the provider's terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Raleigh County sheriff, West Virginia courts, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms apply. Check those terms before providing personal data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards protect collected data. No internet system can guarantee absolute security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A verified report of such data will be addressed through deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights over personal data. West Virginia's public-record framework, the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, governs records held by public bodies, while W. Va. Code §15-2-24 governs State Police criminal-history collection and exchange. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government records custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as site practices or legal requirements develop. A revised version will be posted here with its new effective date.
