Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search box pass to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A direct message is used only to read and answer the request it contains.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We look at this in aggregate to keep the site healthy and to see which pages readers use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Automatic data helps operate the site, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
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 Privacy Choices
The Florida Digital Bill of Rights, sections 501.701 through 501.722, Florida Statutes, grants rights for data handled by narrowly defined covered controllers; it is not a universal public-record deletion law. We can search our contact mailbox and server logs for a request sent through the Contact page. Records held by Florida, Marion County, or municipal offices remain under the custodian's control, so correction or exemption requests must go there.
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.
