Information You Provide
Search Requests
When a name or location is entered in a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This service does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Messages sent by email or a contact form may be retained long enough to answer the inquiry and manage the conversation. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Visit Data
Basic technical details may be collected automatically when a page loads. The information helps keep the service functional, understand usage, and diagnose problems.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when present
- Visit timestamps
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the service. Browser controls can block or clear cookies, although some functions may respond differently when cookies are disabled.

Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid including unnecessary sensitive details in a message and should use a government office's secure route when it provides one.
