Information You Submit
A name, place, or other term entered into a partner search box passes directly to the independent provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own system.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain what you provide long enough to answer and manage the exchange. We do not share that message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Information
Routine server and analytics records may capture technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site. Browser controls can reject them, although blocking cookies may change how certain features work.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for limited operating purposes:
- Maintain site performance and availability
- Send partner-search requests to the selected service
- Understand which pages visitors find useful
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Hancock County offices, GDC, courts, release resources, or third-party search services. After a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy terms apply, not this notice.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking occurs on their systems.
Possible Data Recipients
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect the information under our control. No internet service is fully secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly gather personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete eligible personal data
- Opt out of certain processing
Notice Revisions
This privacy notice may change as practices or legal duties develop. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
