Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is passed to the outside provider operating that tool. This service does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
When a visitor sends an email or other contact message, we keep the information needed to respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, we may receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page:
- internet protocol address;
- browser type and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring page, when available; and
- dates and times of requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand traffic and site use. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
We use available information to operate and improve the service, including to:
- keep pages available and functioning;
- send a submitted search to the appropriate partner;
- understand which reference material is useful;
- identify and correct technical problems; and
- support advertising that may be based on interests.
External Resources
Pettis County material links to public offices, courts, corrections systems, and outside search tools. When a visitor follows an external link, that destination’s privacy policy governs its handling of information.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or deliver interest-based advertising. That activity is governed by the partner’s practices, not this notice.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed or disclosed to the following groups when necessary:
- search providers that handle submitted queries;
- analytics vendors;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal requirement.
Security Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive details through an ordinary contact message.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
A visitor may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information we hold;
- correct inaccurate information;
- request deletion of applicable information; or
- opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as the service changes. Any revision will appear here with an updated effective date.
