Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
An email or contact message is retained as needed to respond. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Routine logs may record technical details when a page loads. These can include:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, timestamp, and related request data
Cookies
Cookies help measure use and support site functions. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected data supports limited operating needs:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected provider
- Understanding which Wirt County resources visitors use
- Diagnosing errors, abuse, and security problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Outside Websites
Links lead to Wirt County offices, WVDCR release and custody resources, courts, federal locators, and private search services. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the destination's own privacy terms govern.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That collection occurs on their systems, not in an official Wirt County record system.
Possible Data Recipients
Personal information is not sold as a customer list. It may be handled by:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring page use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access and loss. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, and this site does not claim that a breach is impossible.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion of information submitted by a minor.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete eligible personal information
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
These rights concern data controlled by this private site. Government records must be addressed to the Wirt County, court, WVDCR, or other agency that holds them under West Virginia law.
Notice Changes
This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective information.
