Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in search forms are sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to answer.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We look at this in aggregate to keep the site healthy and to see which pages readers use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use limited data to operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. Visitor lists are not sold, and we do not create 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
Rights to access, correct, or delete personal data depend on where a visitor lives and which law applies. Washington's My Health My Data Act, Chapter 19.373 RCW, concerns covered consumer health data and is not a general deletion right for land, court, or voter records. Because we retain very little, a request normally involves checking contact mail and server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Washington, King County, or Bellevue offices remain under their custodians' control.
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.
