Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives the name, phone number, or address entered in a search form; our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you send a message, we receive only its contents and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can contain an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review totals to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or comparable technology where applicable.
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
Your place of residence may give you rights to access, correct, or delete personal data kept by a website. The research for this project did not identify a general Washington consumer-privacy statute to cite here, so applicable rights depend on the data and law involved. We can search our contact mailbox and logs for a request sent through the Contact page. Public records held by Washington, King County, or Maple Valley remain under the control of their custodians.
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.
