Information You Send
When you enter an address or owner's name in a search form, that query is sent to the third-party provider that returns the results. This reference does not retain a copy of your search on its own server. A message sent through a contact channel includes the details you choose to share, which are used to reply.
Routine Technical Logs
The web host records standard technical details, such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and the time of a visit. Aggregated logs help keep the service running and show which information is useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
How We Use Information
Data described here supports site operation, error review, traffic measurement, and page improvement. The operators do not sell a visitor list or build a profile of an individual reader.
Outside Links and Searches
Pleasants County Property Records links to the County Clerk, Assessor, Sheriff, MapWV, city departments, state offices, and third-party search tools. If you submit information on one of those services, its privacy terms apply. Sponsored result tools are run by their providers, not by the county offices linked for official records.
Who Processes Data
Hosting and support vendors may process server logs to operate the website. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguards and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection. Technical logs are kept for the purposes described in this policy and no longer than those needs require. There are no visitor accounts or site passwords to maintain.
Children
This reference is intended for adults and is not designed for children. The operators do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor's information was sent, contact the operators so it can be removed.
Your Data and Public Records
Use the Contact page for a request about information submitted to this reference. West Virginia Code §29B-1-3 is the Freedom of Information Act route for records held by a public body; it is not a consumer privacy statute for this private website. West Virginia Code §16-5-27 protects identifying vital-record information and sets public periods of 100 years for births and 50 years for death, fetal-death, marriage, and divorce or annulment records, subject to statutory exceptions. These rules apply to the government custodian, not to a search provider's separate data.
Public property records held by Pleasants County, West Virginia, or a municipality are outside this site's control. A request to correct or obtain one must go to the office that keeps it. The County Clerk handles recorded deeds and probate records, the Assessor holds valuation and parcel material, and the Sheriff keeps tax accounts.
Policy Changes
If these practices change, an updated policy will be posted here. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
