Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, county, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms control its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact submission may be retained long enough to review and answer it. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the service may record routine technical details when a page loads. Those records can include:
- The visitor's internet protocol address
- Browser name and software version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Dates and timestamps tied to a request
Cookie Controls
Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site and which pages work well. A browser can refuse or remove cookies, though some site or partner functions may then behave differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected data is used for limited operating purposes.
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending a search request to the selected partner
- Learning which Harney County resources visitors use
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests
Government and Outside Links
Links may lead to Harney County records pages, the Sheriff's Office, Oregon corrections resources, federal locators, courts, or third-party search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy policy and technology govern the visit.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to associate activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking is conducted on their platforms, not in a Harney County government system or a database maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may still be processed or disclosed to:
- Search partners that receive a visitor's query
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another public body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access, loss, and misuse. No internet service, transmission method, or connected storage system can be guaranteed secure in every circumstance, so the site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Privacy Choices and Requests
Subject to applicable law and the limits of data actually held, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data held by the site
- Request correction of inaccurate personal details
- Ask for deletion of eligible information
- Opt out of certain optional processing where offered
These rights concern data held by this private site. Public records kept by Harney County or Oregon agencies follow the custodian's law and process, including Oregon Public Records Law at ORS 192.311 through 192.478.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices may change as technology and services change. A revised notice will be posted here and will carry its new effective date when an update takes effect.
