Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Greenbrier County Released Inmates, how it is used, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

When you type a name, location, or other term into a search box, the query goes to the independent provider that operates that tool. Greenbrier County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own system. The provider's policy controls its handling of the submission.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your internet protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising functions. You can limit or block cookies through browser settings. Some features may then work differently or not retain a preference.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner service
  • Understand which Greenbrier County release pages are useful
  • Detect errors and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy on Linked Websites

Links may lead to WVDCR, Greenbrier County offices, West Virginia court portals, federal locators, release-record resources, or third-party search services. After you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and terms apply.

Some advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the provider's controls, not within records maintained directly by Greenbrier County Released Inmates.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled or disclosed only to the categories needed for the site and lawful compliance:

  • Search partners that process a query you submit
  • Analytics vendors that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

West Virginia public-record access for government-held records is governed in part by West Virginia Code §29B-1-3, with exemptions in §29B-1-4. Those rules concern public bodies and do not turn this private site into a government record custodian.


Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect data in our control. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.


Choices About Your Data

Subject to applicable law and verification of the request, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Ask that eligible personal data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing when that right applies

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice when site practices or legal requirements change. The updated text will be posted here with a new effective date, and continued use will be governed by the posted version.
