Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered into an embedded search tool is sent to the outside company operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its processing.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact-form message is retained as needed to answer the sender and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.
Automatic Technical Details
Routine server and analytics records may collect technical facts when a page loads. Those facts can include:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring page or site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure use and remember limited preferences. A browser can block or remove them, although parts of the site or an outside tool may then work differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected information supports the operation of the service. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a submitted search to the selected partner
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Find and correct errors or security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Sites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Rio Grande County Sheriff's Office, court resources, the Colorado Department of Corrections, federal locators, news publishers, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's own privacy notice controls.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select ads. That tracking occurs under their controls, not as a Rio Grande County government service.
Parties Receiving Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be supplied to:
- Search partners that process a query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another public body responding to a valid legal demand
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or storage service connected to the internet can promise complete security, so this notice does not make a breach-proof guarantee.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from a person under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the Contacts page.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights depend on the law that applies to the request. A person may ask for:
- A copy of personal information held by the site
- Correction of inaccurate personal information
- Deletion of information when the law permits
- An opt-out from certain processing where available
Notice Updates
This privacy notice may be revised as practices, vendors, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
