Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search box are sent to the third party providing those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to answer.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity for reliability and general usage. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or comparable technologies.
How Information Is Used
Limited visitor data helps operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user 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 Data Rights
Your place of residence may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. The research found no broad West Virginia consumer-privacy deletion statute equivalent to those adopted in some states, though specific protections and general consumer law still apply. Because we retain little, a request generally means checking contact mail and available logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by West Virginia, Ohio County, Marshall County, or Wheeling offices remain under the custodian's control.
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.
