Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into one of the search tools on this site, that input goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the search. They process it and return results. We do not store or log the search terms you enter on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email or contact message, we keep that message so we can reply. Your message stays within our team. We will not share it with anyone outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies
We use cookies on this site. These small files stored on your device let us see how visitors use the site, which pages get the most traffic, and where people tend to leave. Your browser settings let you block cookies. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending search requests to the right partner service

Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to Connecticut Judicial Branch portals, Fairfield Town Clerk pages, Fairfield Probate Court, DOC, DMV, DESPP, federal court pages, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.

- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. Nothing connected to the internet can be guaranteed secure. We work to keep information protected, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
