Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When a name, county, or location is entered into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Boone County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when pages load or when a visitor moves through Boone County jail, court, and facility resources.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support ordinary site functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently after they are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Boone County inmate-record pages are useful.
- To detect errors, broken links, security issues, and performance problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to WV DCR, Southwestern Regional Jail resources, Boone County offices, court portals, VINELink, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of that outside website controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or to show interest-based ads. That tracking happens under their policies, not through a Boone County government office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to these parties when needed for site operations or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure website use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand requires disclosure.
Security
We use standard safeguards for a site of this type, but no internet-connected service can be made completely secure. We cannot guarantee that information sent to or through the site will be immune from every unauthorized access attempt.
Visitors Under 18
