Privacy Notice

This notice explains what Morgan County Released Inmates collects, why the information is used, and when another party may receive it. It covers direct messages, technical data, cookies, and searches sent through partner tools. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

When you enter a name, location, or other detail in a partner search box, the query is sent to the third party that operates the tool. Morgan County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and use of the query.

Messages to Us

If you send an email or use a contact form, we keep the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not share the message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical and usage details when a page loads. These details help diagnose problems and show how the site performs.

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand visits and remember basic site interactions. You can block cookies through your browser, though some functions may work differently or become unavailable.


How Data Is Used

Collected information supports the operation and improvement of Morgan County Released Inmates.

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect and correct technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Websites and Services

Links may lead to ERJCF and WVDCR, Morgan County courts, the Sheriff, federal locators, official release-record sources, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Government records reached through these links may also be subject to West Virginia law, including the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act in Chapter 29B.

Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems and is controlled by their policies, not this notice.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to the parties needed to operate the site or comply with law.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No service connected to the internet can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, contact us so a deletion request can be reviewed.


Your Data Choices

Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, you may make the following requests:

  • Ask for a copy of your personal data
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate data
  • Ask for deletion of personal data
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as the site or its services change. The updated text will appear on this page and will carry a new effective date when posted.
