Information You Submit
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search tool may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Roane County Inmate Population does not keep its own roster database and does not store those search terms as official inmate records.
Messages
If you send an email or message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle related administrative needs. It is not shared outside the operation of the site unless a legal duty requires it.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, the site may receive technical data when a page loads.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, keep pages working, support ads, and measure performance. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features may act differently when they are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and quick to load.

Outside Websites
Pages link to WVDCR, Roane County offices, West Virginia courts, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ads or personalize them across websites. Those activities are handled by the partner, not by an official Roane County or West Virginia agency.

- Search partners that receive submitted query terms.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
