Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal information is a priority for Utah Public Records ("we," "our," or "us"). This policy outlines the categories of data we may obtain during your interactions with our website, how that data is handled and processed, and the measures in place to keep it secure. Visiting or using any portion of this site constitutes your acceptance of the practices described here. Please take the time to read through this entire document so you have a clear understanding of our approach to data privacy.

Information We Gather

Several types of information may be obtained from or generated about you while you interact with our platform. Below, we break down each category and explain what is involved.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

Certain features on our site, such as search tools and inquiry forms, may prompt you to submit personal details like a name, geographic location, or other identifying data. This information is passed along to our third-party service partners who process your request and return the relevant records. We do not retain your specific search entries on our own servers; however, the partner platforms fulfilling your request may store that data according to their respective privacy practices.

Data Collected Automatically

Whenever you access a page on our site, technical information about your visit is captured automatically by our web servers and analytics tools. The types of data gathered through this automated process may include:

Your device's internet protocol (IP) address
Browser type, version number, and language preference
Device characteristics including operating system, display resolution, and hardware details
The specific pages you viewed and the sequence of your navigation
The referring URL or source that directed you to our site
Date and time records for each page request made during your session

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our site relies on cookies and similar digital tracking tools to improve how you interact with our pages. Cookies are compact text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They enable us to retain your preferences, distinguish repeat visitors from new ones, and compile aggregate data about how the site is used. Some of these cookies are strictly necessary for core website operations, while others support analytics measurement or advertising delivery. Your browser provides options to restrict or delete cookies, but doing so could limit the availability of certain site features.

How We Use This Information

Information gathered through our site is put to use in the following ways:

Maintaining reliable website operations and ensuring consistent page delivery across all devices
Forwarding your record search requests to the appropriate third-party data providers for fulfillment
Studying usage trends and visitor behavior to guide ongoing improvements to the site experience
Detecting, diagnosing, and resolving technical errors, bugs, and performance bottlenecks
Serving advertisements from third-party ad platforms that are integrated into our pages

Your data is processed solely for purposes that align with the original reason for its collection and within the bounds of legitimate use.

External Websites and Services

Throughout our site, you will find hyperlinks and integrated tools that direct you to platforms maintained by independent third parties. Once you navigate to one of these external sites, or when an outside provider processes a search on your behalf, that organization's privacy policy and terms of service govern the handling of your information. We have no control over and bear no responsibility for how third-party websites or services manage user data. Before providing personal details to any outside platform, we strongly advise that you examine their posted privacy disclosures.

Some of our advertising partners engage in cross-site tracking, which involves monitoring browsing activity across multiple websites in order to serve you customized ads. These tracking practices fall under the policies of those advertising partners rather than our own.

When We Share Data

Under no circumstances do we sell your personal data. That said, limited data sharing may occur with the following types of parties:

Records search partners: Your search inputs are relayed to external data providers whose systems generate the public records results displayed on our site.
Analytics providers: We utilize analytics services that help us measure traffic volume, understand how visitors move through the site, and assess overall performance metrics.
Advertising networks: Ad platforms operating on our site may collect browsing information to present you with promotional content tailored to your interests.
Legal and governmental authorities: Disclosure of information may be necessary in response to a valid legal demand, court order, or regulatory requirement, or to defend our rights, safety, or property.

How We Protect Your Data

Safeguarding the information entrusted to us is something we approach with care and diligence. We maintain a combination of technical defenses, including data encryption and secure server environments, alongside organizational controls that restrict information access to only those personnel who need it. Despite these precautions, it is important to recognize that no system connected to the internet can offer a complete guarantee against security breaches. We make every reasonable effort to protect your data, but we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never happen. Our security protocols are reviewed and strengthened on a continuing basis to address new and evolving risks.

Visitors Under 18

Our website is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and above. We have no intention of gathering or requesting personal information from minors. If you have not yet reached your 18th birthday, you should refrain from using this website or providing any personal data through it. Should we discover that a minor's information has been submitted to us without proper consent, we will act swiftly to remove that data from our systems.

Your Privacy Rights

Applicable privacy legislation in your jurisdiction may grant you specific rights over the personal data we maintain. Such rights may include the following:

Access: You can request to see what personal information, if any, we hold that relates to you.
Correction: You can ask that we fix or update personal data in our records that is inaccurate or outdated.
Deletion: You can request the removal of personal data we have gathered about you, unless a legal obligation requires us to retain it.
Opt out: You can decline participation in certain data uses, including interest-based advertising and particular analytics collection.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please get in touch with us via our contact page. Legitimate requests will be addressed within the timeframe mandated by the relevant privacy laws.

This privacy policy may be revised periodically to account for updates in our operational practices, technological changes, shifts in legal obligations, or other pertinent factors. Any revised version will be published on this page at the time it becomes effective. We recommend checking back on occasion to stay current with how your information is being managed.
