Details You Choose to Submit
Names, telephone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form go to the third-party provider that powers the search. Our own servers do not keep a copy of those entries. Information sent through a contact message is used only to answer that message.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate to maintain the site and understand which pages are useful. Basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable technology.
How That Data Is Used
We use available data to operate the site, repair technical faults, measure overall traffic, and improve content. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.
Privacy on Linked Websites
Links may lead to county or state record portals, archives, library collections, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls anything you submit. Sponsored search results are supplied by a third party and fall under that provider’s rules.
Parties That May Process 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.
Safeguards and Retention
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.
Privacy Requests and Choices
Privacy rights can vary by residence and the type of data involved. The Washington Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, governs access to many agency records and exemptions, but it does not control data held by this private site. Because we retain very little visitor data, a request usually involves checking contact messages and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by Washington, Pierce County, or Puyallup remain under the control of their custodian.
Future Policy Changes
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use of the site after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
