Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search box are submitted to the third-party service that provides that search experience. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Like most hosted sites, our service may create ordinary logs containing an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review this in aggregate for security, maintenance, and page-use trends. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.
How We Use Information
We use this limited information to operate the service, address technical faults, measure general traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
External Links and Searches
County and state portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search tools linked here operate under their own privacy policies. Those policies control information you provide on their sites, including through sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers may process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when a valid legal process requires disclosure.
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 the circumstances, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code Title 59.1, Chapter 53, provides rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain certain personal data, along with limited opt-out rights. Because this service keeps little direct visitor data, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and applicable logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Virginia public records held by a state or county custodian are outside our control, and related requests must go to that custodian.
Policy Revisions
We will post updates to this policy here. Continuing to use the service after a revision means you accept the revised policy.
