Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of the submitted query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not disclose that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires us to do so.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising technology may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device class and operating system.
- The pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages and support site functions. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Purposes for Using Data
Collected information is used for limited operational and service purposes:
- Operating the site and keeping pages responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understanding which reference pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnosing errors, abuse, and technical failures.
- Displaying advertising that may be based on interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record sources, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy terms control its data practices.
Advertising providers may use their systems to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based advertising. That cross-site processing occurs through the providers' technology, not through a record database hosted here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by service providers or disclosed under these circumstances:
- Search partners that receive and process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No website, transmission method, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed secure. We therefore cannot promise that unauthorized access, loss, or a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for people age eighteen and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. If a parent or guardian believes a person under eighteen submitted data, contact us so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that eligible information be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain types of processing.
Policy Changes
We may revise this privacy policy as technology, service providers, or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted on this page with a new effective date when an update takes effect.
