Privacy Policy

This policy describes the data associated with a visit, why it may be processed, and the limited circumstances in which another service may receive it. By continuing to use Logan County Criminal History, you agree to these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to review and answer it. We do not voluntarily distribute the message outside our operation, though a valid legal duty may require disclosure.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page can cause servers and analytics tools to receive standard visit details:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Analytics providers may combine that activity into reports. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not host, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The published material identifies official Logan County and West Virginia channels, including court clerks, the sheriff, WVSP CIB, WVDCR, and the West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own policies govern query processing, retention, and sharing. Review those terms before submitting information because this policy cannot control an outside provider's systems.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Logan County offices, West Virginia court and agency portals, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's privacy rules apply. Read them before providing personal details.

Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold by this site. Limited information may be handled by:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable safeguards are used for the data collected. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so a breach-free result cannot be promised.

Users Under 18

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified minor's submission will be removed when identified.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law may provide further rights. West Virginia criminal-history dissemination is addressed by W. Va. Code §15-2-24, while public-government records and exemptions are governed by the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act. For data held by this private site, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. The new text and effective date will appear here when an update takes effect.

Effective date: August 11, 2026
