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 tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Page requests can produce routine technical logs, including:
- 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 and analytics tools help measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how parts of the website behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal records is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies where Braxton County records can be requested from local courts, police custodians, West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, WVDCR, and the West Virginia Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and this is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention rules, and sharing practices govern any query sent to them. Review the provider's policy before entering a search because we cannot control that processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, sheriffs, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once another website opens, its own privacy policy applies. Check those terms before providing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their systems to follow activity across websites and tailor ads. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information can be received by:
- 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 standard safeguards protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach cannot be ruled out despite those measures.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults, and information from a person under 18 is not knowingly collected. A report that a minor submitted data will be reviewed so the material can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. West Virginia protects exempt personal information in public records under W. Va. Code §29B-1-4, while criminal-history dissemination is controlled by §15-2-24. For information held by this private website, you 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
