How Data Is Used
We use available data to operate and improve the site, route a search request to its provider, understand which content is useful, diagnose technical faults, and support advertising that may be interest-based.
External Services and Links
Links can lead to WVDCR, courts, sheriff offices, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy notice controls. Advertising providers may measure activity across sites on their own systems.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by search partners processing a query, analytics services, advertising networks, or law enforcement and government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Limits
We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. Transmission and storage always carry some risk.
