Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own stored log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the details you provide to read and answer the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
