Privacy Notice

This notice explains what Morgan County Inmate Population collects, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, including pages that point to WVDCR, Morgan County offices, court portals, or partner search tools, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Enter

Search Terms

When you type a name, county, or location into a search box operated by a third-party provider, that request is sent to the provider that powers the tool. Morgan County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.

Messages

If you send an email or other message about this site, the message may be retained long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, or a comparable legal process. West Virginia's public-records law, W. Va. Code 29B-1-3, applies to public bodies and record custodians, not to this private site.


Technical Information Collected Automatically

Basic usage and device information may be collected when pages load, including:

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time of the visit.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, and measure whether pages are working well. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or measurements may not work the same way afterward.


How the Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
  • To send search requests to the partner service chosen by the visitor.
  • To understand which Morgan County jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
  • To detect errors, broken links, abuse, and technical problems.
  • To support advertising that may be based on general interests.

Other Websites and Portals

This site links to WVDCR inmate locators, Morgan County sheriff and court pages, West Virginia Judiciary tools, VINELink, federal locators, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination website control what happens there.

Advertising partners may use their own cookies or tracking technologies to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. Those systems are operated by the advertising partners, not by Morgan County Inmate Population.


Limited Sharing

Personal information is not sold. It may be made available only to limited parties involved in operating or protecting the site:

  • Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks used to support the site.
  • Law-enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, server, email account, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof protection.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, a parent or guardian may ask that it be reviewed for deletion.


Your Choices and Requests

  • Ask for a copy of personal information this site maintains about you.
  • Ask that inaccurate information you provided be corrected.
  • Request deletion of information that is no longer needed.
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.

Policy Changes

This privacy notice may be revised as site features, partners, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with the new effective version shown by the page content.
