Data You Give Us Directly
What you type into the search forms (a name, a phone number, or an address) goes to the third-party provider that powers the results; our own servers keep no copy of your searches. If you write to us, we see only what your message contains and use it to reply.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, timestamp, and pages requested. We review totals to maintain performance and understand general readership. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also use cookies or related technology.
What We Do With This Data
We use limited data to run and improve the service, diagnose faults, and measure overall traffic. We neither sell a list of visitors nor create personal 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
An encrypted connection protects data in transit, and logs are retained only while needed for the purposes stated above. Since visitors create no accounts, we hold no site password or account profile for them.
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
The Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. chapter 743jj, may give eligible Connecticut consumers rights concerning personal data controlled by a covered business, including access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out rights subject to statutory limits. Because we retain little information, a request ordinarily involves our contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Westport, Fairfield County court offices, or Connecticut agencies remain under the custodian's control.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will appear here. Continued use after a posted revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
