Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, place, or other term into a search box, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Email and Contact Messages
We retain a message long enough to answer it and manage the related correspondence. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Details Collected on Visits
Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising tools may collect basic technical data when a page loads, including:
- Your internet protocol address.
- The browser type and version in use.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages opened and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time stamps for requests.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how people use the site and support certain features. You can block cookies through browser settings, although doing so may cause parts of the site to work differently.
Purposes for Using Collected Data
Collected data supports routine site operation and service delivery. We use it to:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Privacy After Following a Link
Links can lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, government systems, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's own privacy terms govern the visit.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across multiple sites to select ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems rather than ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by service providers or disclosed where legally required, including:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers measuring site use.
- Advertising networks serving and measuring ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee
We use standard safeguards suited to this type of website. No internet-connected system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted data.
Requests About Your Information
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Erase eligible personal data.
- Stop certain forms of processing.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or legal requirements change. A revision will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
