Information That May Be Collected
Search terms entered in a search box may pass directly to the third-party search provider that returns the results. The site may receive messages and contact details that a visitor voluntarily submits. Routine technical data can include an internet address, browser type, device details, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate visit times. Cookies or similar storage may remember preferences, measure use, support advertising, and help prevent abuse.
How Information Is Used
Collected data may be used to operate and secure the site, answer a message, understand which pages work, diagnose errors, prevent misuse, and improve navigation to Monongalia County, WVDCR, court, VINE, parole, and federal sources. It may also support advertising and partner-search functions. The site does not use a visitor's search query to create an official custody or release record.
Search and Analytics Partners
Search providers, analytics services, hosting vendors, and advertising networks may receive the data needed to provide their service. A partner can place or read its own cookies and may combine activity under its stated policy. Search queries submitted to a partner are handled by that partner, not by North Central, WVDCR, the Monongalia County Sheriff's Office, or this private publication. Review the destination's privacy terms before submitting personal information.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may be shared with vendors that help run the site, search partners, analytics providers, and advertising networks. It may also be preserved or disclosed when required by a valid legal order, to protect rights and safety, to investigate fraud or abuse, or during a business transfer. Personal messages are not sold as official public records.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to WVDCR, West Virginia courts, VINELink, BOP, county offices, statutes, and other outside services. Those sites control their own data practices, security, and availability. Leaving this site ends the control described in this notice, so the destination's terms should be read separately.
Security and Retention
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no website, message route, or internet transmission can be guaranteed secure. Data is kept only as long as reasonably needed for operation, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security. Visitors should not send sensitive identifiers through a general contact message.
Children and Young People
The site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. It does not knowingly seek personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request review.
Your Privacy Choices
Browser controls can block or delete cookies, though some functions may not work as intended. Visitors may ask what personal information they directly submitted, request correction or deletion where applicable, or opt out of future nonessential messages. Rights vary by location and may be limited by legal or security needs.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised when technology, providers, or legal duties change. The version posted here governs use from its publication onward. Continued use after a revision means the visitor should review the updated terms.
