Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a sponsored search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the details needed to respond. We do not share the message outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
A page request may create routine technical and usage data. This can include:
- Your internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring page or site, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Most browsers let you reject or remove them. Blocking cookies may cause some tools or preferences to work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected data supports the site's ordinary operation.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which content is useful
- Diagnose errors and security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to Putnam release records, sheriff and WVDCR pages, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on partner systems, not as a record maintained by this site.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal data. Limited data may reach:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect data. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof, and we do not promise absolute security.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Data Choices
Subject to applicable limits, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete personal data
- Opt out of certain processing
Requests may be sent through the Contacts page. We may need enough information to verify and process the request.
Notice Updates
Privacy practices may change. A revised notice will be posted on this page with its new effective date.
