Information You Submit
When a visitor enters an address or owner name in a search form, the form sends that entry to the third-party provider that supplies results. This site does not retain its own copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains whatever the visitor chooses to include, and it is used to respond to that message.
Routine Web Logs
The hosting service records standard technical logs, which may include an IP address, browser type, pages viewed and visit times. These are reviewed in aggregate to maintain the site and understand which pages are useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where those services apply.
How Information Is Used
Information described here helps run the website, diagnose problems, review overall traffic and improve its pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles.
Privacy at Linked Services
County Clerk, Assessor, Sheriff and GIS portals, as well as sponsored search tools, are operated outside this site. Each service sets its own privacy terms. Data entered there is handled under that service's rules, including sponsored results supplied by an outside company.
Who Receives Site Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs as part of keeping the site online. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic technical information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process calls for it.
Security and Retention
Connections to the site are encrypted, and logs are kept only for the operational uses described above. Since this site has no visitor accounts, it holds no site password or account profile.
Children's Information
The reference is intended for adults rather than children, and we do not knowingly collect personal details from people under 18. If a minor has sent information to the site, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Choices and Requests
Depending on a visitor's location, privacy law may provide rights to see, correct or delete personal information held by a website. West Virginia consumer-privacy statute coverage was not verified in the research for this site. Because little visitor information is kept here, many requests will have little data to address. Use the Contact page to ask. Summers County, county and state public records remain with their custodian; requests to change those records belong with the office that maintains them.
Policy Changes
A revised policy will appear on this page if these practices change. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the posted version.
