Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form goes to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of those queries. Messages sent to us contain only what the sender chooses to provide, and that information is used to answer the message.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. Aggregate log data helps maintain the service and shows which resources visitors use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
We use the data described above to operate the site, fix problems, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell a list of our visitors. We do not build profiles of individual users.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to government portals, county and state records offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Each of those sites has its own privacy policy, and data you submit there is governed by their rules, not ours. This is especially true of the sponsored search results on this site, which are provided by a third-party company.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support vendors process server logs for us. Analytics or advertising services may receive the automatic information described above. Data may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it; visitor information is not otherwise shared.
How We Protect Your Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. We retain server logs only as long as needed for the purposes above. Because we do not run accounts, there is no password or profile of yours to breach on this site.
Users Under 18
This site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Washington does not provide a general consumer-privacy statute citation in the project research, so no broader right is claimed here. Because we retain very little, a request generally means checking the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by University Place, Pierce County, or Washington remain under the control of their custodians.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
