Information That May Be Collected
A search query entered into the site search box is passed to its third-party search provider. If a visitor sends a message, the message and supplied contact details may be received. Like most websites, the service may also receive technical information such as browser type, device characteristics, IP-derived location, referral page, pages viewed, and timestamps. Cookies or similar tools may be used by the site, its analytics services, advertising services, and search partners.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate the website, respond to an inquiry, improve navigation, measure performance, prevent misuse, deliver or measure advertising, and maintain the search feature. Search-provider information is governed by that provider's own practices as well as this notice. We do not use a search request to create or control an official Garfield County record.
Sharing and Outside Services
Data may be handled by search partners, hosting providers, analytics vendors, advertising networks, and vendors that help operate the website. Information may also be disclosed when required by a lawful subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when disclosure is needed to protect rights, safety, or the service. Links to Sheriff, court, UDC, local-media, and other websites lead to independent services with their own terms and privacy practices.
Cookies and Your Choices
Browsers can limit or clear cookies, although some functions or partner services may then work differently. Advertising and search vendors may offer their own controls. Choosing not to provide optional contact information can limit our ability to answer a message. For a government-record request, use the relevant official office and its stated procedure rather than sending protected personal information through this site.
Security and Retention
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no online transmission or storage system is completely secure. Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal compliance, dispute resolution, security, or business records. A deleted browser cookie does not necessarily remove data held by an independent provider.
Children and Privacy Rights
This service is not directed to children under 18, and it does not knowingly seek their personal information. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may request access, correction, deletion, or information about the handling of personal data. Requests may be limited when identity cannot be verified, when another law applies, or when retention is legally necessary. Government-record access is governed separately by Utah GRAMA and the responsible agency's rules.
Updates and Contact
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the service, partners, or legal requirements change. The current version takes effect when posted. Questions about this notice may be directed through the Get in Touch page.
