Information You Provide
Search submissions
When you enter a name or location into a search tool, the query is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Calhoun County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query and any information you give it after leaving this site.
Messages
If you voluntarily email us or send a message through a contact feature we make available, we may retain the information needed to answer it or maintain a related business record. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the services that deliver this site may automatically receive routine technical information when a page loads. This information helps maintain the service, diagnose faults, and understand aggregate use.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page or service, when available
- Date and time of access
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may help measure site use and remember technical preferences. You can restrict cookies through browser settings. Blocking them can cause certain functions or partner tools to behave differently.
How We Use Information
Information is used for ordinary site operation and improvement, not to create or host official Calhoun County records.
- Operate, secure, and improve page delivery
- Send a submitted query to the applicable search partner
- Understand which reference material visitors use
- Identify and address technical errors
- Display advertising that may be interest-based
Outside Services and Links
The site links to public resources such as the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, the WVDCR offender-search pages, the West Virginia Magistrate Record Search, and outside search tools. Once you select a link, the destination’s privacy policy and practices apply. We do not control its availability, content, or data collection.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. That activity occurs under those providers’ terms and controls, not under a Calhoun County government record system.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be processed or disclosed to the following recipients when needed for the stated purpose or when legally required.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, and we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, use the Contact Us page to request its removal.
Your Choices and Requests
Subject to applicable law and the information we can identify, you may ask to review, correct, or erase personal information held by us, or opt out of certain processing. Requests about an official arrest, court, or custody record must go to the public custodian that maintains it, not to this site.
- Request a copy of personal information held by us
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete information that is no longer needed
- Opt out of processing where an applicable right permits it
Policy Revisions
We may revise this policy as the site or its services change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with an updated effective date.
