Information You Submit

When you type a name, county, state, or other detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle the issue raised. It is not shared outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
