Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar detail into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Raleigh County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Routine technical data may be collected when pages load or when site tools are used.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies help measure use of the site and support ordinary site functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently after they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Raleigh County records pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose broken links, page errors, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Outside Websites
The site links to WVDCR tools, Raleigh County and sheriff resources, court portals, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search services. After a visitor follows an outside link, that website's privacy policy and terms control the visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking is handled by the advertising partner, not by an official Raleigh County or West Virginia agency.

- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
