Privacy Policy

This policy explains what McDowell County Recent Arrests may collect, how information is used, and when a service provider may receive it. By using the site, you accept these privacy practices.

Information You Choose to Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name or location entered into an outside search tool goes to the provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact submission may be retained long enough to answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected During a Visit

Normal server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect these details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on them
  • A referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies can help show how visitors use the site. Browser settings can reject them, although blocking cookies may cause some functions to behave differently.


Reasons for Processing Data

  • Maintain site operation and speed
  • Send a search request to the selected provider
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose and fix technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy After Leaving This Site

Links lead to sheriff, jail, corrections, court, government, and third-party search pages. Once selected, the destination's privacy policy governs the visit.

Some advertising companies may track activity across websites to tailor ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not this site's own arrest-record content.


Limited Sharing of Information

This site does not sell personal information. Data may be available to:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures and Limits

Standard security practices are used, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. The site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Information from Minors

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Requests About Your Data

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable

Policy Updates

This policy may change. Any revision will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
