Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a name, location, or similar search term is entered into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Calhoun County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the message long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads or a browser requests a file.
- Internet Protocol address.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic settings, measure ad performance, or see which pages are useful. You can block or delete cookies through your browser. Some site features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, functional, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the partner service that powers a search box.

- To diagnose broken links, loading errors, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.
Outside Websites
This site links to West Virginia jail rosters, WVDCR pages, court portals, sheriff and county resources, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or serve interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Calhoun County government office.

Security Practices
We use reasonable security practices for a small public-information website. No website, server, email account, analytics service, or internet transmission can be made completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or misused.
