Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form are sent to the provider operating that result service. Our servers do not keep a copy of those search terms. If you contact us, the message and contact details you choose to send are used to respond.
Routine Technical Data
Like most hosted pages, our service can record IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps in standard server logs. We use aggregate information to operate, secure, and understand use of the service. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may use cookies or comparable technologies.
How Information Is Used
Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create personal profiles of individual readers.
Other Services and Links
Links lead to county and state portals, libraries, archives, and search providers. Those services set their own privacy practices for information submitted there, including material entered into sponsored search results.
Service Providers
Hosting, analytics, and advertising providers may process the routine technical data described here to support their services. We share information when required by valid legal process and otherwise only as needed to operate the site.
Security Practices
The service uses an encrypted connection. Logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. Since readers do not create accounts here, the site does not hold reader passwords or account profiles.
Children
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect a child’s personal information. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information so it can be addressed.
Your Privacy Requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask for access, correction, or deletion of personal data a site keeps. North Carolina did not have a broad enacted data-broker opt-out statute confirmed in the research used for this site. Send a request through the Contact page; we will check the limited contact and operational data under our control. Government records are controlled by their respective custodian, and requests about those records must go to that office.
Policy Changes
Any revision will appear here. Continued use after publication of a revised policy indicates acceptance of the updated version.
