Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's rules apply to the information it receives.
If you send an email or contact message, we keep what is needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.

- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system

- Date and time stamps
Cookies may help show how visitors use the site. You may block them in your browser, although parts of the site may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data is used for a limited set of operational purposes.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner service
- Learn which resources visitors use
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Outside Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to WVDCR, the Marshall County Sheriff, West Virginia courts, release-record sources, or third-party search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls its handling of data. Review that policy before submitting personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to understand activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not in a record maintained by this site.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by a small number of parties needed to operate the service.
- Search partners that process a query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or a government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used. No internet-connected system can be promised as completely secure, however, and this notice does not claim that a breach is impossible.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may ask that it be reviewed and deleted.

Subject to applicable law and the nature of the data, you may make the following requests.
