Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Search terms are neither logged nor retained by us.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message is retained as needed to prepare and send a response. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a visitor loads a page, the servers may automatically receive these technical details:
- The referring website, when one is reported
- Page-view times, pages opened, and time spent on them
- The device type and operating system
- The browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
- A timestamp for each recorded page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to help measure how visitors move through the website, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for reporting. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Routing a search query to the appropriate partner service
- Operating the website and maintaining reliable page performance
- Measuring which material is useful and where revisions may help
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Fairfield County record requests instead go to municipal police departments, Connecticut Superior Court, the DESPP State Police Bureau of Identification, CT DOC, or the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry, depending on the record. Visitor data is not used to create a consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted through one of those tools is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Read the applicable policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links can open municipal police resources, Connecticut court portals, state agency pages, legal materials, or outside search tools. The destination's own privacy terms govern after a visitor leaves this website. Those terms should be reviewed before personal details are submitted.
Some advertising providers may use activity across multiple websites to select targeted advertisements. Their systems, not ours, perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving advertisements on the pages
- Search partners processing a query submitted through their tool
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, generally accepted safeguards are used for collected data. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, however, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, a request may be made for its prompt deletion.
Your Data Rights
The Connecticut Data Privacy Act, C.G.S. §§42-515 through 42-526, and the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act may supply rights or remedies depending on the organization, information, and processing involved. Subject to applicable law, a person may:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Seek access to personal information held about them
- Opt out of processing covered by an applicable right
- Ask for deletion of qualifying personal information
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised. An updated version will be posted here with a new effective date, so visitors should review the policy periodically for current practices.
Effective date: July 17, 2026
