Data You Give Us Directly
Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form go to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to respond.
Data We Gather 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
Automatic data helps operate the service, diagnose faults, measure overall traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor assemble profiles about individual readers.
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
Connections are encrypted, and logs remain only as long as needed for the purposes stated above. Because visitors do not create accounts, the site holds no user password or account profile.
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 Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website keeps about you. Because our records are limited, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Washington Public Records Act records under RCW 42.56 remain under the control of the state, Franklin County, or City of Pasco custodian. Vital-record access and confidentiality are separately governed by RCW 70.58A.540. Requests about those public records must go to the office that holds them.
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.
