Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, county, or location into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Outside Websites
