Information You Enter
Search Queries
When a name, county, or other search term is typed into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep a separate local roster of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message details may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain basic records. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.
