Privacy Notice

[INTRO - written fresh: what this policy covers (what is collected, how it is used, when it may be shared) and that using the site means accepting these practices. Self-reference allowed.]

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our system.

Messages

Email or form messages are retained as needed to answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected

Normal server and analytics records can collect these details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the resource. Browser controls can block them, though some functions may then behave differently.


Reasons for Using Data

  • Operate and improve site performance
  • Send search entries to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages are useful
  • Diagnose errors and security issues
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links lead to sheriff and corrections records, government portals, and outside search services. Once opened, the destination's privacy terms apply.

Some advertising providers may measure activity across sites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems.


Parties Receiving Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search partners processing a query
  • Analytics vendors measuring use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof or fully secure.

Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
