Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number submitted through a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies the response; this site does not retain or record the terms you submit.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email you send long enough to review it and respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a visitor loads a page, the site may automatically receive the following technical information:
- The date and time of each page request
- Your device's assigned IP address
- The referring website, when one is available
- Your browser type and version
- Your operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Small files called cookies may be placed on your device to help measure site use, including popular pages and points where visits end. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for us. You may disable cookies through your browser, although doing so can change how some site features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a submitted query to the appropriate search partner
- Maintaining reliable operation and page performance
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Understanding which pages help visitors and which need improvement
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We neither host nor build, maintain, or sell a database of dockets or personal court-case details. The site provides directions for locating Calhoun County records through the appropriate clerk, court, or West Virginia search system. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes that appear on this site. Their privacy policies, rather than this policy, govern submitted information, retention, and disclosure. Because we do not control those practices, read the applicable partner policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerk and court pages, West Virginia case-search portals, legal-aid resources, or commercial search services. Once you follow an external link, that destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select targeted ads. Such tracking occurs through the provider's systems, which we do not operate.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may, however, be received by:
- Analytics providers that measure use and performance
- Outside search providers that process a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving content on the site
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, customary safeguards are used for information we receive. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, however, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will delete it promptly.
Your Data Rights
You may inquire about personal information controlled by this private website. Court-record inspection is separately addressed by West Virginia Code § 51-4-2, subject to applicable exceptions, and West Virginia Code § 29B-1-3 establishes a request process for covered government records. Neither statute makes this site an official records custodian. Your rights here include the ability to:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
- Ask that your personal data be deleted
Updates to This Policy
Any revision will be posted on this page and identified by a new effective date. Check the current policy to see how visitor information is handled.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
