Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that produces the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you send a message, we receive the details you chose to include and use them to answer.
Routine Technical Logs
The hosting service records basic technical data such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregated logs help diagnose faults and measure page use. Cookies or related tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where those features apply.
What We Do With This Data
Operating the site, fixing problems, counting traffic, improving pages. We do not sell visitor lists and we do not build profiles of individual users.
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 Data Rights
Privacy rights depend on the law and the kind of data involved. Washington's public-record rules, including the Public Records Act at RCW 42.56, do not give this private site control over records held by a public custodian. Because we retain very little visitor data, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. A correction, redaction, or removal request for a government record must go to the Washington, King County, or Tukwila office that holds it.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
