Information You Submit
When a search box is used, the address or owner name entered is sent to the third-party search provider that supplies its results. This site's pages do not promise that the provider will handle submitted data in the same way. If you contact the site operator, the message and return details you provide are received so a reply can be sent.
Information Collected Automatically
Hosting services commonly create technical logs such as IP address, browser type, requested page and request time. These records can be used to maintain availability and troubleshoot errors. Analytics or advertising tools may use cookies or similar technologies where enabled; their collection and retention are governed by the relevant provider's settings and policy.
How Information Is Used
Technical and contact information may be used to keep the pages available, respond to a request, understand aggregate traffic or correct problems. We do not use it to create individual property profiles. The site does not sell a visitor list.
External Sites and Search Services
Links may lead to Putnam County, West Virginia or federal pages, GIS viewers, or private search services. Once you leave this site, the outside provider's privacy terms apply to data you submit there. Sponsored search results are supplied by a separate company and are not operated by this guide.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and technical service providers may process information needed to deliver the website. Analytics or advertising partners may receive technical data when their tools are active. Information may also be disclosed when required by valid legal process.
Security and Retention
Pages are served using an encrypted connection when the browser shows HTTPS. Retention periods for technical logs depend in part on hosting and service-provider settings. Because the site has no visitor account area, it does not maintain a site password for you.
Children
This property-records reference is intended for adult researchers and is not directed to children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to the site operator, use the Contact page so the matter can be reviewed and the information removed where appropriate.
Your Choices and Public Records
To ask about information sent directly to this site, use the Contact page and identify the request. Research for this guide verified the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code chapter 29B, as an access law for public-agency records; it is not a consumer-privacy deletion law for this private website. West Virginia's Address Confidentiality Program provides a substitute address in qualifying circumstances, but it does not remove public property records generally. Requests to correct or obtain a government record must go to the office that maintains it.
