Garfield Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information this private Garfield County records-reference service receives, why it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the service, a visitor accepts these practices. It applies to the site’s pages and tools, not to the independent government or third-party sites reached through a link.

Information You Provide

Search terms

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. Search terms are not stored or logged by this site at its end.

Messages

Emails and contact submissions may be retained to answer the message. They are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.


Technical Data and Cookies

Routine technical information may be collected whenever a page loads to operate, measure, and protect the service.

  • Internet protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on them
  • Referring site, when supplied
  • Dates and times of visits

Cookie choices

Cookies help show how visitors use the service. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some features may work differently afterward.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary operation and improvement of the service.

  • Maintain availability and performance
  • Send a search request to the appropriate partner
  • Understand which pages readers use
  • Diagnose and correct technical problems
  • Deliver advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests

Links Beyond This Service

Links may lead to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, federal-locator, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination’s own privacy practices apply.

Advertising partners may measure activity across websites on their systems for advertising purposes. Those systems are not operated by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold. It can be disclosed to the limited parties needed to provide or lawfully administer the service.

  • Search partners that process search requests
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Practices

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but an internet-connected service cannot promise complete security or a breach-proof system.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor has supplied information so that it can be addressed.
