Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form are submitted to the independent provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Hosting systems may create standard logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregated activity to maintain the service and understand use of its pages. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
We use the limited information described above to operate the service, diagnose problems, measure traffic, and improve its content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and outside search services. Their own privacy terms govern information you provide after leaving this service. That includes sponsored results supplied by a third party.
Who May Receive Information
Providers that host or support the service process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires disclosure and otherwise do not share it.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes stated here. No account, password, or on-site visitor profile is created for this service.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor has sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask for access, correction, or deletion of personal data a service keeps. The research for this site did not identify a general North Carolina consumer-privacy statute governing a private reference service. Because we retain very little, requests usually concern a contact message or applicable logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by North Carolina, county, or city custodians are outside our control and must be addressed to the office that keeps them.
Policy Changes
Updates will be posted here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
