Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, counties, or other search terms entered into a sponsored search tool are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not control that provider's database, pricing, or result logic, and it does not keep those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If an email or contact message is sent, the information in that message is used to review and respond to it. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on them.
- Referring site, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, remember basic settings, support ads, and measure page performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may work differently after that.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages working and loading correctly.
- Route search requests to the partner service that powers a search box.
- Learn which Braxton County jail and records pages are useful.
- Find technical errors and improve reliability.
- Display ads that may be based on general interests or page context.
Outside Links
The site links to jail rosters, WVDCR pages, court portals, sheriff pages, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that other website's privacy policy and terms control the visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure views, clicks, or activity across websites. Those partner systems are not controlled by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when law requires it.
- Search partners that process sponsored search queries.
- Analytics services used to measure traffic.
- Ad networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order applies.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected site can promise that data is immune from unauthorized access, system failure, or transmission risk.
