Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, state, or other search detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or message related to the site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for it.
