Information Visitors Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters 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 stored 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 and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
