Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Buckhannon Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. No account is required. The site points to public rolls and historical collections in Buckhannon, West Virginia, but does not host personal government records.

Information You Submit

Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search box are sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the facts included in your message and use them to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs can record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review combined traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools where applicable.


How We Use Information

Information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles about individual readers.


Links to Other Websites

Links lead to Upshur County and West Virginia portals, libraries, archives, and outside search services. Data submitted there is governed by each destination's privacy policy. Sponsored results are also provided by a separate company.


Who Might See Your Data

The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.


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

The 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

Rights to access, correct, or delete website data may depend on where you live. The research found no comprehensive West Virginia consumer privacy statute equivalent to the broad laws in some states, so applicable federal and state rights still control. Because little data is kept, we can check the contact mailbox and available logs for a request made through the Contact page. Public records held by West Virginia, Upshur County, or Buckhannon are outside our control and must be addressed with the custodian.


Updates to This Policy

Revisions will appear here. Continued use after an update means the revised policy applies to that use.
