Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is submitted to the outside provider that produces those results. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of search entries. If you contact us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Hosting systems create routine logs such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of visit. We use aggregate information to maintain the service and understand which resources are useful. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited data helps operate the service, address errors, measure traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links may lead to Hamilton County and Tennessee record portals, library collections, archives, and outside search tools. The policies of those services govern information submitted there, including information submitted through sponsored results supplied by a third party.
Parties That May Process Data
Hosting and support providers process logs for the service. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires disclosure and not otherwise.
Safeguarding Information
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational needs described here. There are no accounts, passwords, or user profiles stored by this site.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a visitor under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information so it can be deleted.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of website data about you. Because we retain very little, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Tennessee, Hamilton County, or East Ridge custodians remain outside our control; the Tennessee Public Records Act, T.C.A. ยงยง 10-7-501 et seq., governs access to existing government records, and correction requests go to the originating custodian.
Changes to This Policy
Any revision will be posted here. Continued use after publication of a revision means that the updated policy applies.
