Details You Provide
When a visitor enters a name, phone number, or address in a search form, that information goes to the outside provider that returns the result. Our servers do not keep a copy of the search. A direct message gives us the information in that message, which is used to reply.
Automatic Technical Details
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and visit time. Aggregated information is reviewed to keep the service working and understand general use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
Use of Limited Data
Limited data helps operate and secure the service, troubleshoot faults, measure broad traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual visitor profiles.
External Destinations
Links may lead to County or State portals, library collections, archives, or outside search tools. A destination’s privacy policy governs information submitted after leaving this service. Sponsored results likewise come from an outside company.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process ordinary logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic details described above. Information is disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described above. There are no site accounts, so the service does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent information, contact us so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the visitor’s location, rights may exist to ask about, correct, or delete personal data that a website holds. The Oregon Consumer Privacy Act applies only in the circumstances and to the organizations it covers. Because this reference retains little visitor data, a request will generally concern the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. Oregon Public Records Law, ORS chapter 192, governs qualifying public-records requests to government custodians, not a request to this private reference. Oregon, Clackamas County, and Happy Valley records are not controlled here, so a correction or disclosure request belongs with the custodian.
Policy Changes
Changes to this policy will be posted here. Continued use after a posted change means acceptance of the updated policy.
