Information You Submit
When a search form is powered by another company, the address, owner name, or other text you enter is sent to that provider to return results. This site does not maintain a local history of those searches. A message sent to us includes the information you choose to provide, which is used to respond to the inquiry.
Information Collected Automatically
The hosting service may record ordinary technical log details, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. Aggregated traffic information can help diagnose errors and show which guides are useful. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, if present, advertising measurement.
How We Use Information
Information is used to keep the site available, troubleshoot technical issues, understand aggregate readership, and improve the guides. We do not sell a visitor list or create individual behavioral profiles from site visits.
Links to Other Websites
Links on this site may open the Monongalia County Clerk, Assessor, Sheriff’s Tax Office, state mapping services, or another search provider. Each destination sets its own privacy practices. Information entered after leaving this site is handled under the destination’s terms, including data submitted to any sponsored search tool.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and technical support providers may process server logs to keep the site operating. If analytics or advertising tools are enabled, their providers may receive the technical information described above. Information may also be disclosed when a valid legal obligation requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The site uses an encrypted connection. Log retention is limited to what is needed for operations, security, and the uses described above. Because the site has no visitor accounts, it does not maintain account passwords or user profiles.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not designed for children. We do not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has sent us information, use the Contact page so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Your Choices and Requests
Depending on where you live, local law may provide ways to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information a website keeps. Use the Contact page for a request concerning this site. The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act governs requests to public agencies for public records; it does not make this private website the custodian of county records. Questions about a deed, tax account, assessment, or mapped parcel must go to the Monongalia County or state office that maintains it.
Updates to This Policy
We will post a revised policy on this page if these practices change. Use after the effective update indicates that you have read the revised terms.
