Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other search details entered into a search box are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Hampshire County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own servers.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to answer the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Outside Websites
This site links to WVDCR pages, Hampshire County offices, court portals, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search services. After a visitor follows an outbound link, the destination site's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to understand activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's policies, not under the control of this site.
