Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, or location is entered into a partner search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep a separate log of those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage any follow-up. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be collected when pages load so the site can function, diagnose problems, and understand general use patterns.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser storage may be used to measure site use, remember basic preferences, support advertising, or help analytics tools work. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or measurements may behave differently.
