Data You Give Us Directly
Information is received only when a visitor chooses to submit it through an available feature.
Search Queries
A search entered into an outside search tool is handled by that provider under its own policy. We do not receive the provider's full results.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a contact method is offered, the submitted name, address, and message may be used to answer that communication. Do not send case secrets, account credentials, or sensitive court papers.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine technical logs may record an IP address, browser, device type, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate visit time. This data supports security and basic operation.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar tools may remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. Browser settings can restrict cookies, though some functions may work less smoothly.
What We Do With This Data
Visitor data may be used to run and secure the service, understand aggregate use, answer messages, prevent abuse, and meet legal duties. It is not used to create an official Wood County court record.
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, or sell Wood County dockets or personal case files. Official Circuit and Family records remain with the Wood County Circuit Clerk; Magistrate records remain with the Magistrate Clerk; municipal records remain with the city court. Public access follows West Virginia Code ยง51-4-2 and Trial Court Rule 10.04 where applicable.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside search or advertising providers may receive information entered into their tools and may use cookies. Their own terms and privacy policies govern. We do not control their retention, security, pricing, or results.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to West Virginia courts, Wood County offices, city sites, legal resources, or private services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy applies.
Who Might See Your Data
Information may be shared with vendors that operate site functions, with advisers, when law requires disclosure, to protect rights or security, or during a business transfer. We do not sell an official court database because none is held here.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage method is guaranteed secure. Visitors should limit what they submit.
Users Under 18
This resource is not directed to children under 18, and personal information from children is not knowingly collected. Information identified as a child's submission may be removed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may request access to personal information held by this private site, ask for a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. West Virginia Freedom of Information Act requests concern records held by covered public bodies and do not create privacy rights against this private resource.
