Information Supplied Directly
Search requests
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates the search service. The site does not maintain a separate log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Information sent in an email or contact message may be retained to respond and maintain the conversation. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the service may receive technical information from a browser or device, including an IP address, browser type and version, device and operating-system information, referring page, pages viewed, time spent, and timestamps. This information helps maintain performance, security, and site operation.
Cookies and similar technology may be used to understand how visitors use pages and to support advertising or analytics. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate and improve the site, direct a search request to the relevant partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical problems, protect against misuse, and support advertising that may be interest-based. It is not used to create or maintain an official Randolph County custody or court record.
When Information May Be Shared
Data may be processed by search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, and service providers that help operate the site. It may also be disclosed when a lawful order, subpoena, or other legal obligation requires it, or when disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or the service. External agencies and partners have their own privacy practices.
Links and Security
Links may lead to RCSO, WVDCR, court, city, federal, news, or third-party pages. Their content, availability, cookies, and data handling are controlled by those organizations. Review the policy of any outside service before submitting information there.
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no online transmission or storage method can be promised completely secure. Avoid sending private identifiers or sensitive documents through a general web contact route.
Children and Data Choices
The site is not directed to children under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a child supplied personal information, they may request review or deletion through the contact route. A visitor may also ask about personal data held from a message, request correction where applicable, or ask for deletion subject to legal and operational limits.
This notice may change as the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated notice applies when posted.
