Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location placed in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When a visitor sends an email, the message may be retained so our team can respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard technical data may be recorded as pages load. That data can include:
- Device IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device class
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services help measure traffic, find errors, and show how visitors move through the site. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical and submitted data may be used for the limited operational purposes below.
- Operating and securing the site
- Passing a chosen search to the provider that runs it
- Measuring page use and performance
- Diagnosing faults and improving load times
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Chelan County guidance points to the County Clerk, District Court, CCSO Records, Regional Justice Center, Washington State Patrol, Washington State Department of Corrections, and Washington Sex Offender Public Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information entered there is handled under that provider's privacy policy, retention practices, and service terms. Review those terms before submitting a query because we do not direct the provider's data processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Chelan County offices, Washington courts and agencies, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's policy governs. Advertising services may also use their own systems to measure activity across sites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be accessible to:
- A search provider processing a query submitted to its tool
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving content on the site
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal requirement
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet system can promise absolute security, so protection efforts cannot guarantee that a breach or misuse will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor can be removed when the issue is brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary with a person's location and the law that applies. A visitor may ask for access to personal data we hold, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing where the law provides that choice. Washington's Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, governs public-agency records, while RCW 10.97.050 sets criminal-history dissemination boundaries. Those laws do not turn this private site into a county records office or authorize disclosure of restricted data.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A new version becomes effective when posted here with its updated date.
