Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we use the information in your message only to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable technology.
What We Do With This Data
We use the limited data to run the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
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
Some residents have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information that a website maintains. Washington's My Health My Data Act, chapter 19.373 RCW, specifically protects consumer health data; it is not a general right to erase county records. Because we retain little visitor data, a request normally means checking contact messages and available logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Kitsap County or Washington agencies remain under the custodian's control.
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.
