Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling.

Messages

Information sent by email or a contact form is retained as needed to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless required by law or necessary to address the message.


Automatic Technical Data

Normal web operations may record:

  • IP address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • referring page, when supplied; and
  • request timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies help measure use and support site functions. Browser controls can block or remove them, though parts of the site may then behave differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data may be used to:

  • operate and improve site speed;
  • send a query to the selected search partner;
  • understand which pages help visitors;
  • diagnose faults and security concerns; and
  • display advertising that may reflect interests.

Outside Websites

Links lead to Walton County rosters, sheriff and court services, Florida public-record resources under Chapter 119, corrections systems, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy applies.

Advertising providers may collect activity across sites for interest-based advertising on their systems. This site does not control that activity.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. It may be provided to:

  • search partners that process submitted queries;
  • analytics vendors;
  • advertising networks; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security or guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted data.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal data held, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Send such requests through Contact Us.
