Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search box is transmitted directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policy and returns the result. Mineral County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained as needed to answer it. Messages remain within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server records may automatically capture these technical details when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics services combine that usage data. Browser controls can block cookies, though doing so may change how certain features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Mineral County Court Docket neither hosts nor sells a database of dockets or personal case information. It provides general directions to the Circuit Clerk, Magistrate Court Clerk, courts, WVPASS, and MCRSearch. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is controlled by the provider's privacy policy, including its retention and disclosure terms. Review that policy before sending a query because this website cannot control the provider's practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may open clerk pages, court portals, WVPASS, MCRSearch, legal-aid resources, or commercial tools. The destination's privacy policy applies after leaving this website. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising. That processing occurs under the provider's controls.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices protect collected information, but no internet system can guarantee absolute security or promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If such information is identified, a deletion request may be made.
Your Data Rights
West Virginia Code §29B-1-3 governs Freedom of Information Act requests to public bodies, while Code §51-4-2 addresses inspection and copies of court records subject to exceptions. Neither provision makes this private website a public-record custodian. Subject to applicable privacy and consumer-protection law, visitors may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any replacement will appear here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review the page periodically.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
