Scope
This policy describes how Four States Case Files handles information in connection with this website. By using the website you acknowledge this policy.
Information collected through normal website operation
This website does not offer reader accounts, public comments, newsletters or contact forms, and it does not ask readers to submit personal information. Like most websites, the site and its hosting infrastructure automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, pages requested and request times in order to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the site. Authorized staff sign in to manage content; information for those staff accounts is used only to provide access.
Cookies and similar technologies
This website uses only the cookies or browser storage needed for it to function, such as staff sign-in sessions. No analytics or advertising cookies are currently in use. Sharing buttons open third-party services (such as Facebook and X) only when you choose to use them.
Advertising
This website does not currently display advertising and does not currently use advertising cookies. The publisher may apply for Google AdSense in the future. Before any advertising is activated, this policy will be updated to describe the advertising technology used, including how Google and its partners use cookies and identifiers, and the choices available to you. Information about how Google uses data from partner sites is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and Google's personalized advertising controls are available at https://myadcenter.google.com/.
Third-party links and sharing
Articles may link to outside sources such as court records and agency statements. Those sites are governed by their own privacy policies.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, such as the right to know what is collected, to request access, correction or deletion, and to opt out of certain advertising uses (including the sale or sharing of personal information or targeted advertising under some U.S. state laws). Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland may have additional rights, including the right to withdraw consent. This website does not currently sell personal information in exchange for money.
Data retention and security
Technical logs are kept by the hosting provider for as long as needed to operate and secure the site, according to the provider's practices. The website is served over HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Privacy requests
This publication does not currently publish contact details on this website. A contact method for privacy requests will be added here when available.
Changes
This policy may be revised as the website changes, and the date above will be updated when it is.
