Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies the results. We do not retain a copy of that query on our own servers. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate log data helps us maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.
How Information Is Used
We use limited data to run the service, diagnose errors, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell a visitor list 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
Your location may give you rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Washington's My Health My Data Act governs covered consumer health data, while other rights depend on the data and law involved. Because we retain very little, a request usually means checking our contact mailbox and server logs for responsive material. Send it through the Contact page. Records kept by a Washington state, Thurston County, or Tumwater office are controlled by that custodian, so correction or removal requests must go there.
Policy Changes
Revisions will appear here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
