Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form are sent to the outside provider that supplies those results; this site's servers do not retain a copy of the search terms. A message you send us contains whatever details you choose to include, which we use to respond.
Information Logged During a Visit
The hosting service records routine technical details such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and visit times. We review combined statistics to maintain the site and understand which pages are used. Cookies or related tools may be used for basic analytics or, where applicable, ad measurement.
How Site Information Is Used
We use these details to run the site, diagnose issues, measure traffic, and improve its pages. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.
When You Follow an Outside Link
Our links lead to South Carolina state and county record portals, libraries, archives, and independent search providers. Information you enter on those services is handled under their privacy policies. Sponsored results are also supplied by a separate company.
Service Providers and Disclosures
Companies that host or maintain this site process technical logs as part of providing their services. Analytics or advertising partners may also receive the visit information described above. We disclose information when legally valid process requires it.
Safeguards and Retention
Connections to the site are encrypted, and technical logs are retained only for the purposes described in this policy. Because visitors do not create accounts here, we have no site account password or user profile to expose.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This reference is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18; if you think a minor has sent us information, contact us so we can remove it.
Requests About Information We Control
Your rights may depend on where you live and which laws apply. The statewide sources used for this guide identify no comprehensive South Carolina law that gives consumers a general data-deletion or universal opt-out right. The Family Privacy Protection Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§30-2-10 through 30-2-50, including §30-2-50, restricts knowingly obtaining or using personal information from a public agency for commercial solicitation directed to a South Carolina resident; it does not create a general deletion right for this private website. Requests to us can address only information this site controls: contact us through the Contact page, and we can check our message mailbox and server logs for relevant information and remove what we find. Public records held by South Carolina state, county, or municipal offices are outside our control. The South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§30-4-10 et seq., especially §30-4-30, governs access requests to covered public bodies; ask the custodian about its own records or any correction process.
