A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's separate policy applies to its handling of the query.
Messages sent to us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the information needed to understand and answer the message. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

How Information Is Used
Collected information supports a limited set of operating needs:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending a search request to the selected partner tool
- Understanding which Malheur County topics help visitors
- Finding errors, misuse, and technical faults
- Presenting advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
External Sites and Services
Links may lead to Malheur County records pages, sheriff and corrections resources, Oregon government portals, federal locators, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use of data.
Some advertising partners may use technology on their own systems to recognize activity across websites and tailor ads. Their collection does not occur under our direct control.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be received by service providers or public authorities in these limited roles:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures and Limits
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed free from unauthorized access. This notice does not promise breach-proof security.
