Information You Send
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other detail is entered into a search tool, that query goes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message is kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.
Automatic Site Data
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load so the site can operate and improve.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring website, if one was used.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand traffic patterns, support analytics, and help advertising systems work. Browser settings can block cookies, though some features may behave differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the site available and loading properly.

Outside Websites
Links may lead to sheriff pages, WVDCR locators, BOP resources, court portals, ICE tools, VINE, or private search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other site's privacy policy controls.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads.

Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system can be promised breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive case facts that are not needed for a basic contact request.
