Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered into the search forms. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we use the information in your message only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate patterns help maintain the site and show which material is useful. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar technology.
How the Data Is Used
Technical data supports site operation, repairs, traffic counts, and content improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.
Privacy on External Sites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Your place of residence may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. The research for this project did not verify a comprehensive West Virginia consumer-privacy statute, so no broader state opt-out right is claimed here. We can check our contact mailbox and server logs for a request sent through the Contact page. Records held by West Virginia, Berkeley County, or Martinsburg custodians remain outside our control; requests about those records must go to the responsible office.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
