Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, place, or other search detail into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or keep a separate log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization except when required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site may receive technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, if one is sent by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage and improve performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some site or partner features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, usable, and responsive.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Berkeley County custody and records pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Other Websites
This site links to jail rosters, WVDCR pages, sheriff and court resources, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination website's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and provide interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by this site's own records.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by these categories of recipients when needed.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for the site, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise that information transmitted online will be breach-proof.
