Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form go to the outside provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can record an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
What We Do With This Data
Operating the site, fixing problems, counting traffic, improving pages. We do not sell visitor lists and we do not build profiles of individual users.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
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 Privacy Choices
Washington's My Health My Data Act, RCW 19.373, may provide rights for covered consumer health data, while the Washington Privacy Act proposal did not become a general omnibus privacy law. We will review a request concerning data we actually hold, such as a contact message or server log. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Washington or Clark County are outside our control, so correction or access requests for them must go to the named custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
