Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Randolph County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, when another service may receive it, and the choices available to visitors. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Randolph County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, we retain what you provide long enough to answer and manage the request. We do not share it outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data and Cookies

Routine server and analytics logs may record technical details when a page loads. They can include:

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

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can reject or remove them, though a blocked cookie may change how a feature works.


How Data Is Used

Collected data supports the site’s basic operation and helps us understand performance.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search to the selected partner service
  • Measure which pages readers use
  • Diagnose errors and security problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests

Links and Outside Services

The pages link to WVDCR, courts, sheriff contacts, release-record sources, federal locators, and independent search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy notice and terms control its collection and use of data.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and choose targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those companies, not by Randolph County Released Inmates.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:

  • Search providers processing a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring site use
  • Advertising networks delivering ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Practices

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request deletion.


Your Data Choices

Subject to applicable law and the limits of data we hold, a visitor may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held by us
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that personal data be erased
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as the site or its service relationships change. The updated version will appear here with a new effective date.
