Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information Kanawha County Residents Directory receives and the choices available to visitors. No account is required, and the site does not host public records about Kanawha County residents. Most content points readers to records held by West Virginia agencies, county offices, courts, libraries, and archives.

Information You Submit

A third-party provider receives the name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details included in the message and use them to answer you.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or comparable technology.


How Information Is Used

Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual visitor profiles.


Policies on Linked Services

Links lead to county and state portals, courts, library collections, archives, and outside search services. Information submitted there is governed by each destination's policy. Sponsored search results are also supplied by an outside company under its own practices.


When Information Is Shared

Hosting and technical vendors process ordinary server logs for site operations. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.


Safeguards and Retention

An encrypted connection protects traffic, and logs are retained only as long as operational needs require. Because visitors do not create accounts, the site holds no user password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if a minor has submitted information so it can be removed.


Your Privacy Choices

Rights to inspect, correct, or delete personal data vary by residence. The research found no comprehensive West Virginia consumer privacy act comparable to several other states' laws. For a request, use the Contact page; we will check the contact mailbox and available server logs. Public records maintained by a West Virginia state, county, or city custodian remain outside our control, so correction or removal requests for those records must go to the responsible office.


Policy Changes

A revised policy will be posted here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the new version.
