Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand use of its pages. Cookies and comparable tools may support essential analytics or, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
We use this information to operate the reference, address technical problems, measure traffic, and improve its pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links may lead to Benton County or Oregon record portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. Their own privacy policies control information submitted there. This includes sponsored search results supplied by an outside provider.
Who Can Process Information
Hosting and support providers process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires it, and otherwise only as stated here.
Safeguards
The reference is delivered through an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the needs described above. Because visitors have no account here, the site does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent us information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
Oregon’s Consumer Privacy Act, ORS 646A.570-646A.589, provides covered consumers with privacy rights subject to its scope and exceptions. Because this reference retains very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and applicable server logs, then removing data found there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Records held by Oregon, Benton County, or Corvallis custodians are outside our control. Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311-192.478 and ORS 192.324, governs access requests to public bodies; correction or removal requests belong with the holding office.
Policy Updates
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Continued use after an update means that you accept the revised policy.
