Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive only the details in your message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may include an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate data helps diagnose faults and measure page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools where applicable.
How Information Is Used
We use this limited data to run the site, repair errors, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create personal profiles of readers.
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 Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information kept by a website. Florida has record-specific protections, including Safe at Home under sections 741.401 through 741.465 and protected-address exemptions under section 119.071, rather than a universal deletion right identified in the project research. Because we retain little, a request usually means checking contact messages and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Florida, Okaloosa County, or Fort Walton Beach 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.
