Privacy Policy for Clay County Property Records

This policy describes the limited information Clay County Property Records receives, how it is used, and the choices available to visitors. The site is a reference to public property records in Clay County, West Virginia; it requires no account and does not store property records or search histories on its own servers.

Data You Give Us Directly

When a visitor submits an address or owner name through a search form, that information is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. This site does not retain a separate copy of the query on its servers. A message sent through the Contact page contains the details needed to respond.


Data We Gather Automatically

Our hosting service may record ordinary server-log details, including IP address, browser type, visited pages, and times. Aggregate information helps us maintain the site and understand which pages are useful. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also use cookies or similar technology where enabled.


What We Do With This Data

We use it to operate the site, fix problems, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell a list of our visitors, and we do not build profiles of individual users.


Links to Other Websites

Links on this site may lead to county clerk, assessor, tax, GIS, or third-party search services. Information submitted on another website is governed by that service's own privacy terms. This also applies to sponsored search results supplied by an outside company.


Who Might See Your Data

Our hosting and support providers process standard server logs as needed to operate the site. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We may also disclose information when valid legal process requires a response.


How We Protect Your Data

The site runs over an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.


Users Under 18

This site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information a website holds about you. Because this site stores very little visitor information, many requests can be resolved quickly. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public property records held by the Clay County Clerk, Assessor, Sheriff, or another West Virginia custodian are outside this site's control; direct record correction or access requests to the office that maintains the record under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W.

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the update.
