Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor types a name, county, or other search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain a basic record of the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
