Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, town, or other detail entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms control its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to review and answer it. A message is not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard web systems may record limited technical data when a page loads. Those records can include:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit.
- The browser name and version.
- The device class and operating system.
- Pages opened and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time attached to the request.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages and support site functions. A browser can reject or delete cookies, though blocking them may change how some features work.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected information supports a limited set of operating purposes:
- Keeping pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Learning which records topics are most useful to readers.
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical failures.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Sites Reached Through Links
Links lead to Connecticut police, court, corrections, records, federal locator, news, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy applies. This site does not control that destination's collection or retention practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across different websites and tailor advertisements. Their tracking does not occur on systems controlled by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may still be handled by:
- Search partners that receive a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be promised as fully secure or breach-proof.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. If a minor submitted information, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask for:
- A copy of personal information held by the site.
- Correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Deletion of information that may lawfully be erased.
