Information You Submit
Search terms
Names and locations entered in a search box are sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, it may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. Those records can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site. You can block cookies through browser settings, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary site operations and service improvement.
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send search requests to the selected partner.
- Understand which content visitors use.
- Identify and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to WVDCR, Gilmer County offices, courts, federal locators, release-record sources, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across sites and select targeted ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not this one.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. It may be provided only to parties needed for the following functions:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so this site cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data held about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information.
- Opt out of processing where that right applies.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as site practices change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
