Information You Choose to Send
Names Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is passed to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Emails and Messages
If you email or submit a contact message, we retain the content and reply details as needed to answer. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, server and analytics systems can record basic technical information when a page loads. That information may include:
- the device's Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when supplied; and
- dates and times of requests.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising or partner features. A browser can reject or remove cookies. Blocking them may cause some tools to work differently or not retain a preference.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected data is used only for ordinary site operations and service delivery, including to:
- operate the site and improve its speed;
- send a search request to the selected partner;
- understand which pages visitors find useful;
- detect and repair technical problems; and
- display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to Pasco release records, corrections offices, government portals, or third-party search products. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice controls its collection and use of data.
Some advertising companies may track activity across several sites to select ads. That tracking happens through their systems and is governed by their policies, not this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- a search partner processing a submitted query;
- analytics providers measuring site use;
- advertising networks serving ads; and
- law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Practical Limits
We use customary safeguards suited to the information handled. No internet service, network, or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Service Is for Adults
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a user may ask us to:
- provide a copy of personal data we retain;
- correct inaccurate information;
- erase eligible information; or
- stop certain forms of processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as services or practices change. An updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
