Information You Submit
Search terms
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those terms on its own systems.
Messages
Information sent by email or a contact form may be retained long enough to answer. It is not shared outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal server and analytics logs may record an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referral source, and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar storage may support basic operation, preferences, traffic measurement, advertising, and third-party search tools. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may then work poorly.
How Data Is Used
Data may be used to operate and secure the site, answer messages, understand traffic, improve content, prevent abuse, and measure advertising or referral performance. It is not used to build official Parke County records.
Links Beyond This Site
Official agencies, news outlets, and search partners maintain their own websites and privacy rules. Leaving this site places a visitor under the other operator's terms and practices.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may reach search providers, analytics services, advertising networks, and vendors needed to run the site. It may also be disclosed to law enforcement or another authority when a valid legal order requires it. Personal data is not sold as an official record.
Reasonable Security Measures
Administrative and technical safeguards are used where practical, but no internet transmission or storage method is guaranteed secure. Visitors should not send sensitive data that is unnecessary.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. The operator does not knowingly seek personal information from minors.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, a user may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data submitted directly to the site, or object to certain processing. Browser settings provide separate cookie controls. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, governs government records, not private-site data requests.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. The posted version applies from its publication date, and continued use after an update signals acceptance.
