Information You Choose to Send
A name, place, or other term entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine server, analytics, and browser technologies may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time stamps for visits.
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block or remove them through your browser settings, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used for limited operating and measurement purposes. It may help us:
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected outside provider.
- Understand which Clearwater County resources readers use.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Links Leave Our Control
The site links to the Clearwater County Sheriff, Idaho iCourt, Idaho Department of Correction, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that process a query you submit.
- Analytics vendors that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information in our care. No website, network, or storage system is immune from intrusion or loss, so we cannot promise breach-proof security.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal information in our control.
- Opt out of processing where an applicable right permits it.
These requests apply to information held by this site. Records maintained under the Idaho Public Records Act remain under the control of the government office that created them.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date.
