Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. When you contact us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard server logs may include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and show which material is useful. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How the Data Is Used
We use limited data to operate the site, diagnose errors, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.
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 Data Rights
Depending on your residence, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Washington has record-specific privacy protections, including voter confidentiality and the Address Confidentiality Program, but the research identified no single general consumer statute to cite here. Because we keep little data, a request normally concerns the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Washington, King County, or Covington offices remain under the custodian's 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.
