Information You Submit
When you use a search form, the address or owner name you enter is passed to the outside search provider that returns results. This site does not keep a copy of those searches on its own servers. A message sent through a contact channel contains only the details you choose to include, and those details are used to answer the inquiry.
Routine Technical Logs
The hosting service may record standard connection details such as an IP address, browser type, pages opened, and timestamps. These logs help keep the pages available and show which material is being used in aggregate. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where those services are active.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to run the reference pages, troubleshoot faults, understand overall traffic, and improve material. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not built from site activity.
Outside Services and Links
Links lead to public offices such as the Upshur County Clerk, Assessor, and West Virginia GIS, as well as outside search providers. Each service sets its own privacy terms. Information submitted on another system is governed by that provider, including information sent through sponsored results.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and technical support providers may process connection logs to maintain the service. Analytics or advertising partners may also receive the limited automatic information described above. Data is otherwise disclosed only when a valid legal obligation requires disclosure.
Safeguards and Retention
Pages use an encrypted connection, and technical logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or user profiles stored here.
Visitors Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not aimed at children. Personal information from a person under 18 is not knowingly collected. If a minor's information was sent to us, use the contact page to request deletion.
