Information You Send Intentionally
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message, we may keep the information needed to read, route, and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless we are required to do so by law.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, technical data may be recorded automatically when a page loads.
- IP address and approximate network location.
- Browser type, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, screen size, and operating system.
- Pages visited, links used, and time spent on pages.
- The referring website, when your browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps connected with visits and errors.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, and support ads or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or partner tools may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Marshall County custody, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, abuse, and other technical issues.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Outside Websites
This site links to WVDCR pages, Marshall County sheriff and court resources, federal locators, ICE resources, public-record materials, and private search providers. Once you leave this site, the other website's own privacy terms control its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. Those tools are operated by the advertising partners, not by Marshall County Inmate Population.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by limited outside parties when needed to operate the site or comply with legal obligations.
- Search partners that process lookup queries entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Public records held by West Virginia agencies are governed separately by laws such as W. Va. Code section 29B-1-3 and section 29B-1-4. This privacy notice covers this website, not the disclosure duties of WVDCR, courts, sheriffs, or other public bodies.
Security
We use reasonable practices to protect information connected with the site. No website, server, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
