Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider receives and processes the query under its own terms and privacy practices. Doddridge County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Email and Contact Messages
When you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. A message may include your name, reply address, and any details you choose to provide. We do not disclose contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Standard web systems can record technical and usage details whenever a page loads. These records help operate the site, measure performance, and detect faults. They may include:
- The Internet Protocol address associated with the request
- The browser name, browser version, and related settings
- The device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when that information is available
- The date and time of each request
Cookie Use and Controls
Cookies and similar browser storage may help show how visitors move through the site and which features work well. You can block or delete cookies through your browser controls. Some functions may respond differently or become less reliable when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Process Information
Collected information is used only for ordinary site operations and related services. Those uses include:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and stable
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service
- Learning which Doddridge County resource pages visitors find useful
- Diagnosing errors, abuse, and other technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be selected by likely interests
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to WVDCR, North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, the Doddridge County Sheriff's Office, West Virginia court portals, federal custody locators, release-record resources, or third-party search tools. Official public-record access may also be governed by West Virginia Freedom of Information Act chapter 29B and by exemptions or court rules. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy and terms control its collection and use of information.
Advertising providers may use technology on their own systems to follow activity across different sites and tailor ads. We do not control that cross-site processing. Review the advertising provider's privacy choices if you want to limit targeted advertising.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still be delivered to the parties that perform a service or have lawful authority to receive it:
- Search partners that process queries submitted to their tools
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site use
- Advertising networks that select and deliver ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information in our control. Even careful safeguards cannot make an Internet-connected service completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that transmission, storage, or access will always be free from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access.
This Resource Is for Adults
Doddridge County Released Inmates is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Choices About Your Information
Subject to applicable law and the limits of information we actually hold, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information kept about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal information where erasure is available
- Stop or restrict certain processing when an opt-out right applies
A request cannot control records held by WVDCR, a sheriff, a court, a federal agency, or a search partner. Contact that custodian under its own process for data on its systems.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
We may revise this notice as the site, its providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes available on this page and will carry a new effective date. Continued use after publication means you accept the updated practices.
