Information You Choose to Provide
A search form sends the name, phone number, or address you enter to the outside provider that supplies its results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to answer it.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. Aggregated log data helps maintain the service and shows which resources are useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How We Use Limited Data
Those limited records support site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell a visitor list nor create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to government portals, county and state records offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Each of those sites has its own privacy policy, and data you submit there is governed by their rules, not ours. This is especially true of the sponsored search results on this site, which are provided by a third-party company.
Who Might See Your Data
Service providers that host and support this site process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We will disclose data if a valid legal process requires it. We do not otherwise share visitor data.
How We Protect Your Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. We retain server logs only as long as needed for the purposes above. Because we do not run accounts, there is no password or profile of yours to breach on this site.
Users Under 18
This site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on the data and context, Washington law may provide access, correction, or deletion rights. The My Health My Data Act, chapter 19.373 RCW, addresses covered commercial health data, while chapter 19.375 RCW governs certain commercial biometric data; neither creates a general right to erase public records. Because we retain little, most requests involve our contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page to submit one. Records held by Oak Harbor, Island County, or Washington agencies remain under the custodian's control.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
