Privacy Notice for Visitors

This notice explains what information may be collected while using this privately operated Hardin County reference, why it is used, and when it may be shared. Use of the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Provide

Search requests

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages

Information sent in an email or contact message may be retained to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Servers and service providers may collect ordinary technical information when a page loads. This can include:

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • Referring page, if one was supplied.
  • Access dates and times.

Cookies

Cookies help measure use and maintain site functions. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some functions may then work differently.

Each outside service follows its own privacy rules after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may also measure activity across websites through their own systems.

  • Analytics vendors.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, so transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed breach-proof.
