Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number submitted through a search box goes directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policy. Cabell County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. We keep it within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems may receive routine technical information when a visitor loads a page:
- Your device type and operating system
- Your IP address and browser version
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure traffic, page use, and how visitors move through the site. Analytics providers may combine those measurements into aggregate reports. A browser can reject cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Cabell County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of court cases or personal docket information. It publishes directions to WVPASS, MCRSearch, the Cabell County Circuit Clerk, the Cabell County Magistrate Clerk, and municipal courts. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights concerning personal data held by a private website. Separately, access to existing West Virginia public records is governed by the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, including the request procedures in West Virginia Code § 29B-1-3. Requests about data held by us may include the following:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revision becomes available here with a new effective date.
