Privacy Notice

This notice describes what data McDowell County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, and when it may pass to another service. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third party that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

We keep email or contact-form messages as needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless the law requires it.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard technical records may be created when a page loads. They can include:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device category and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • the referring site, when available;
  • request dates and times.

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove them, although some functions may work differently after cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

Technical and submitted data supports normal site operation. We may use it to:

  • operate and improve page speed;
  • send search requests to the selected partner;
  • measure which pages help visitors;
  • diagnose errors and service problems;
  • display advertising that may reflect interests.

Other Sites and Services

Links lead to release records, court and corrections portals, government pages, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms apply.

Some advertising partners may measure activity across sites to select ads. That tracking occurs on partner systems, not ours.


When Data Is Shared

We do not sell personal data. Information may reach:

  • search partners that process a submitted query;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising networks;
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Measures

We use common security practices suited to this service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted data so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a person may ask us to:

  • provide a copy of personal data we hold;
  • correct inaccurate data;
  • erase eligible data;
  • stop certain forms of processing.

Notice Updates

We may revise this notice. A new version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
