Data You Give Us Directly
What you type into the search forms (a name, a phone number, or an address) goes to the third-party provider that powers the results; our own servers keep no copy of your searches. If you write to us, we see only what your message contains and use it to reply.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time of access. We use aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable technology.
Why This Information Is Used
Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell a visitor list nor assemble personal 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 Data Rights
Privacy rights may include asking a website to access, correct, or delete personal data it keeps. The research did not identify a generally applicable West Virginia consumer-privacy statute to cite here. Because this site retains little, a request ordinarily means checking contact mail and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by West Virginia, Wetzel County, or New Martinsville offices remain under the relevant 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.
