Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its result. We do not retain or log those query terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Time spent on individual pages
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic information, such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can reject cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing technical faults
- Operating and improving site performance
- Routing searches to the selected partner
- Measuring which content is useful
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal-record information is hosted, compiled, or sold here. The site identifies official sources for Adams County records, including the Sheriff, local courts, Washington State Patrol, and the Washington Sex Offender Public Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a file about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there falls under the provider's privacy policy and its own retention and disclosure rules. Review those terms before sending a query because we do not control the provider's practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to court portals, Sheriff pages, Washington agencies, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
- Advertising networks serving ads
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used for collected information. No internet system is completely secure, so protection against every breach cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If such data is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. Washington's Consumer Protection Act, chapter 19.86 RCW, may also govern unfair or deceptive practices. Available requests may include:
- Opting out of certain processing
