Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a name, location, or similar term is entered into a search box operated by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that powers the tool. Doddridge 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 message and contact details may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Routine technical data may be collected when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.

Outside Websites
This site links to government portals, sheriff and corrections resources, court search tools, VINE, federal locators, and third-party search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the outside website apply.
