Information Collected
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that runs that tool. This site does not retain those search terms on its own systems. Messages sent through a contact channel may be retained to respond. Normal web requests may also generate technical information.
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring source, when supplied
- Request dates and times
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may behave differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Technical and contact information is used to operate the site, respond to messages, route a search request to the chosen partner, measure useful pages, diagnose errors, and support advertising that may be interest-based. The site does not sell personal information as its own product.
Outside Services
Links can lead to official Hinds County sources, other public agencies, search providers, news organizations, and advertisers. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that organization’s privacy terms govern its systems. Advertising partners may collect activity across websites on their own systems for interest-based advertising. Review those policies before submitting information.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may be shared with the limited parties needed to provide the service or when law requires it.
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Analytics services used to understand technical performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security and Retention
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security. Contact messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed for the communication, operations, or legal obligations that apply.
Children and Privacy Choices
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may ask for its deletion. Subject to applicable law, a person may ask what personal information is held, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing by using the Contact Us page.
Updates to This Notice
This notice may change as the site, its tools, or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here. Continued use after posting is subject to the updated notice.
