Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered into a search box is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate site log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine server and analytics records may capture technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages opened
- Device type and operating system
- Internet Protocol address
- Referring website, when available
- Browser type and version
- Approximate time spent on a page
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a visitor's device. They and related analytics services help produce combined traffic measures, such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though a feature may behave differently after they are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and performance problems
- Operating and maintaining the website
- Routing a search request to the selected provider
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Cabell County guidance identifies official custodians such as the court clerks, the Cabell County Sheriff, the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, WVDCR, and the West Virginia Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not compiled into a third-party dossier or consumer report. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies power the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure practices apply to information entered into their tools. Those practices are outside our control, so visitors should read the provider's policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Cabell County offices, West Virginia agencies, court systems, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review those terms before providing personal information.
An advertising provider may use its own systems to recognize activity across websites and select ads. Any such tracking is governed by that provider's practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by this site. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors that measure site performance
- The search provider selected by a visitor
- Advertising networks serving material on the pages
- A government body or law-enforcement agency acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, however, and this policy does not promise that a breach is impossible.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person younger than 18. If such information is identified, a deletion request may be made.
Your Data Rights
The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act governs requests to public bodies, while W. Va. Code ยง15-2-24 limits dissemination of Criminal Identification Bureau histories. Those laws do not make this private website a government record custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information held by the site
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
- Seek deletion where retention is not legally required
- Object to processing when applicable law supplies that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version will be posted here and identified by its effective date.
Effective date: August 11, 2026
