Information You Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or other lookup detail into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the search feature. Monroe County Inmate Population does not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message through a contact path, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, measure performance, remember limited settings, and support ads. Your browser can block or delete cookies. Some pages or partner tools may behave differently if cookies are turned off.

External Links
This site links to Monroe County pages, WVDCR resources, West Virginia court portals, VINELink, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination website control your use there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad views or infer interests across websites. That tracking occurs through the advertising partner's tools, not through a government agency or Monroe County office.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information as a stand-alone list. Some information may be processed by service providers that help the site operate.
- Search partners that receive queries entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers used to understand site traffic.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement, court, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information handled by this site. No website, server, email account, or internet connection can be guaranteed breach-proof, so security cannot be promised as absolute.
