Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives the name, phone number, or address entered in a search form; our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us is used only to read and answer that request.
Basic Data Collected Automatically
Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We look at this in aggregate to keep the site healthy and to see which pages readers use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
The limited data helps run the site, diagnose errors, measure traffic, and improve pages. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not built.
Privacy on Linked Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
Safeguards and Retention
An encrypted connection protects traffic in transit, and logs remain only as long as needed for the purposes stated above. Because there are no visitor accounts, this site holds no user password or account profile.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
The Florida Digital Bill of Rights, Fla. Stat. ยงยง501.701-.722, grants rights for data handled by covered large technology companies, subject to its thresholds and exemptions. For data held here, a request generally means checking contact mail and server logs and removing what applies; use the Contact page. Public records kept by Florida, Sarasota County, or Venice offices remain under the custodian's control, not ours.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use of the site after publication of a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
