Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies the response. We do not keep or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to answer it. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive technical information about the visit, including:
- Your device's assigned IP address
- The browser name and version
- Your operating system and type of device
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- A referring website, when one exists
- The date and time of each page request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help show how visitors move through the website, such as which pages receive traffic and where visits end. Analytics providers combine this information into broader usage reports. You may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating the website and maintaining its performance
- Routing a search query to the applicable outside service
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- 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-record information. The content directs readers to official Tillamook County custodians, including the Sheriff, Oregon Judicial Department courts, the Oregon State Police Criminal Justice Information Services Division, and the Oregon Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not used to create consumer reports. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a box is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Tillamook County Sheriff, Oregon court services, state agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search providers. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy controls. Examine that policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising companies may follow activity between websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be processed by:
- Search providers receiving a query you submit
- Analytics providers measuring use and performance
- Advertising networks serving material on the pages
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on the circumstances, rights may arise under the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, ORS 646A.570-646A.589, Oregon's Unlawful Trade Practices Act, ORS 646.605-646.656, or the law where a visitor lives. Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311-192.478, applies to government custodians rather than this private website. Oregon criminal-history disclosure by public agencies is separately limited under ORS 181A.220 and 181A.245. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Seek deletion of your personal information
- Decline certain processing when the law provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised. Any revision will be posted here and identified by an updated effective date. Review the current version to understand the practices then in effect.
Effective date: August 3, 2026
