Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregated activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or related technology where applicable.
How We Use Site Data
We use limited data to run the site, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles of 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
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
Depending on where you live, you may hold rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website keeps about you. Those rights depend on the law that applies to you. Because we keep almost nothing, requests usually end quickly: we search our contact mailbox and server logs and remove what we find. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Washington state, county, or city offices are outside our control; removal requests for those go to the custodian office.
Changes to This Policy
Revisions will appear here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
