Information You Submit
Text entered in a search form, such as a name, telephone number, or address, goes to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you send a message, we receive the details you choose to share and use them to answer you.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review aggregated information to maintain the site and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use the Data
That limited information helps us run the site, diagnose faults, count visits, and improve useful material. We neither sell visitor lists nor assemble profiles tied to individual users.
Privacy on Linked Websites
Links lead to government portals, county and state offices, library resources, and third-party search services. Information sent to any destination is governed by that site's policy rather than ours. The same distinction applies to sponsored search results supplied by an outside company.
When Data May Be Shared
Hosting and support vendors process server logs for us, while analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We may also comply with valid legal process. Outside those circumstances, visitor data is not shared.
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
Your place of residence may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Washington has not enacted a general comprehensive consumer privacy act, so no universal statewide opt-out is claimed here; sector-specific laws and the Consumer Protection Act may still apply. We can check our contact mailbox and server logs for the small amount we may hold. Use the Contact page to make a request. Records held by Mount Vernon, Skagit County, or Washington agencies remain under their custodians' 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.
