Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its receipt and use of that query.
If you email us or use a contact feature, we retain the message and the contact details needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it or a service provider must process it to deliver the reply.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine server, analytics, or advertising systems may collect technical details when a page loads. These records help operate and protect the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages and may support advertising. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though parts of the site or an outside tool may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the limited operational purposes below.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which Mingo County resources are useful
- Find and correct errors or security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Outside Sites and Services
Links may lead to WVDCR, Mingo courts, the Sheriff, release-record resources, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy policy and technical practices govern. This site does not control those systems.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or tailor ads. That processing occurs on their systems under their stated policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be shared where needed with:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic
- Advertising networks that serve or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Limits
We use customary safeguards suited to a public reference website. No internet service, transmission method, or connected storage system can be guaranteed breach-proof. Please avoid sending sensitive custody, identity, financial, or legal material that is not needed for a simple site inquiry.
Users Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request a correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. A request concerns information controlled by this site. Official Mingo County, WVDCR, court, or VINELink records must be addressed to their own custodians.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site, vendors, or legal duties change. A new version will appear here with its current effective information. Continuing to use the site after publication means the revised notice governs later activity.
