Information You Submit
Search Queries
A name, place, or other query entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider's own terms and privacy policy apply.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the message and contact details as needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.

How Information Is Used
Collected information supports site operation and broad usage measurement.

Other Sites and Services
Links lead to CT DOC, Connecticut court and public-record resources, federal locators, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy rules govern its collection and use.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. We do not control tracking technology on an outside service.

We use reasonable, commonly accepted safeguards for systems we control. No internet-connected service is fully secure, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access, loss, or a breach will never occur.
