Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained so we can answer it. We keep that message within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers can collect these technical details:
- Page-view dates and times
- Visited pages and time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- Referring site, when one is available
- The device’s assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help show how people use the website, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine that traffic information. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search query to the selected partner
- Operating the website and maintaining page speed
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Understanding which pages are useful
- Presenting advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies where Rio Arriba County records are kept and how to approach the sheriff, New Mexico Judiciary, New Mexico Department of Public Safety, and DPS Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information entered there is handled under the provider’s privacy policy, not this policy. Each provider controls its retention and disclosure rules, so review those terms before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Read it before providing personal information.
Some advertising companies may track activity across websites to tailor ads. That activity takes place through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks placing material on the pages
- Search partners receiving a query through their tool
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If such information is identified, it can be requested for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Rights can differ based on residence and applicable law. New Mexico’s Inspection of Public Records Act, NMSA 1978 §14-2-1, governs access to public-agency records, while NMSA 1978 §29-10-6 limits access to state criminal-history information. Those agency rules are distinct from this private website’s visitor data. Where applicable law provides the right, you may:
- Request deletion of covered personal information
- Ask for access to covered data held about you
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Opt out of processing when the law supplies that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A changed version will appear here with an updated effective date.
