Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.
Routine Technical Information
The hosting service records standard log details, which may include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review combined traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable technology.
How Information Is Used
These limited details support site operation, error diagnosis, traffic measurement, and page improvement. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual visitor profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to City of Richland, Benton County, Washington agency, archive, library, or outside search services. Information entered there is governed by that service's policy. This also applies to sponsored results delivered by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Providers that host or support the service may process routine logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising services may receive the automatic data described here. Other disclosure occurs only when valid legal process requires it.
Security and Retention
An encrypted connection protects traffic in transit, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Because visitors do not create accounts, this service holds no visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This service is for adults and is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if a minor appears to have submitted information so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Your place of residence may provide rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a website. Washington's My Health My Data Act, RCW 19.373, applies to consumer health data and is not a general public-record release law. Since we retain very little, a request generally involves checking contact messages and server logs for responsive data. Send a request through the Contact page. Public records held by Washington, Benton County, or the City of Richland remain under the control of their custodians, so correction or removal requests must go to the responsible office.
