Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered into a search box is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The partner processes the query and supplies its result. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the conversation. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- 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 and Analytics
Cookies stored on a device help measure broad use patterns, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine that traffic data for reporting. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the resource. It may be used for:
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The material here explains how to reach Taos County custodians, New Mexico courts, the New Mexico Department of Public Safety Law Enforcement Records Bureau, and the New Mexico DPS Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not turned into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the selected partner's privacy policy. Each partner controls its own retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, the sheriff, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for interest-based advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures protect information in our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access can never be ruled out entirely.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such data is identified, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. New Mexico's Inspection of Public Records Act, Sections 14-2-1 through 14-2-12 NMSA 1978, governs access to government records, while Section 29-10-6 NMSA 1978 limits inspection of state arrest-record information. Those laws do not convert this private resource into a government custodian. At a minimum, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A new version becomes available here with an updated effective date.
