Information You Submit
When you use a search box, the address or owner name you enter is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. We do not maintain a copy of that query on our own site servers. If you send a message, we receive its contents and use them to respond.
Information Collected During a Visit
Our hosting service may create ordinary server logs such as IP address, browser details, requested pages and visit times. These records help maintain availability and understand site use in aggregate. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also use cookies or similar technologies where enabled.
How We Use the Information
We use available visit information to run the website, diagnose errors, review aggregate traffic and improve the reference pages. We do not sell a visitor list or create individual profiles from the limited information described here.
External Links and Search Providers
Links from this guide may open the Nicholas County Clerk or Assessor resources, statewide mapping systems, or commercial search services. Each destination sets its own privacy terms. Data submitted after leaving this site is governed by that destination's practices, including sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Service Providers and Disclosures
Hosting and maintenance vendors may handle technical logs while providing site services. Where analytics or advertising tools are active, their providers may process the automatic information described above. We may also disclose information when valid legal process requires it.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection. Technical logs are retained according to operational needs and hosting practices. Because there are no site accounts, we do not keep a user password or account profile here; no online service can promise that every transmission or system is risk-free.
Children's Information
This reference is intended for adults and is not designed for children under 18. We do not knowingly request personal information from minors. If you believe a child sent information through the site, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Requests About Site Information
The research reviewed for this guide did not identify a West Virginia consumer-privacy statute to cite here, so this policy does not promise statutory access, correction or deletion rights. You may still send us a question about information you submitted through this site using the Contact page. West Virginia's Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code ยง 29B-1-3, governs access requests to covered public bodies; it does not make this private website a county records custodian. Requests to correct or obtain public deeds, assessments or parcel information belong with the Nicholas County or state office that holds those records.
Policy Changes
We will publish revisions on this page. Continuing to use the site after a revised policy is posted indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
