Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other detail entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email or otherwise send a message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a contact message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies

- The referring website, when one is supplied

Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how people use the site and may support advertising or basic functions. A visitor can block or remove cookies through browser settings, though parts of the site may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports the operation and improvement of this reference. In particular, it may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Detect errors and resolve technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Other Websites and Services
Links may lead to CT DOC, Connecticut court records, federal locators, other government resources, or third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy policy controls how it collects and uses information.
Some advertising providers may track activity across different sites to select ads. That tracking takes place through the provider's systems, not as a database maintained by this site.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be disclosed to:
- Search partners that process a visitor's query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Is Best Effort
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data we hold, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held about them
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete eligible personal information
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
These choices concern data held by this private site. Requests for Connecticut public records, corrections, or erasure are governed separately by the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, including General Statutes Chapter 14, and other applicable state law.

We may revise this notice when practices or legal requirements change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
