This Privacy Policy describes how Connecticut Company Search handles information when you visit https://connecticutcompanysearch.us. The site publishes information about Connecticut business records and does not provide services, tools, platforms, community features, or commitments. It does not require an account, does not process payments, and does not ask for a filing, a tax number, or a document.
By using the site you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. This policy covers the website only, and it does not cover the official government sites the pages link to. Those sites publish their own privacy notices, and they may collect information differently.
Summary
The site collects two kinds of information: what you choose to send by email, and what is recorded automatically when a page loads. The first is voluntary. The second is technical and is used to keep the site working and to see which pages readers find useful. The site does not build profiles of individual readers and does not sell data.
Information you provide
When you send an email to info@connecticutcompanysearch.us, you provide your email address, the content of the message, and any attachment or link you include. That information is used to read and answer your message. It is not added to a marketing list, and it is not shared with advertisers, because the site does not run advertising or sponsored content.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the site records technical details when a page is requested. These can include the page address, the time of the request, the browser and device type, the referring page, and a truncated or anonymised IP address. The details are used in aggregate to diagnose errors, measure page speed, and see which topics readers need.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site may use cookies and similar storage to remember preferences and to measure traffic. A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser. The cookies policy describes the categories in more detail. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site should still work, although some preferences may not be remembered.
Analytics
Traffic measurement helps the site decide which pages to improve and which topics to add. Where an analytics service is used, the site aims to configure it with the least data necessary, such as anonymised addresses and disabled advertising features. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate and is not used to identify a single reader.
How we use information
Information is used to operate the site, answer messages, fix errors, improve clarity, and see which pages are useful. It is not used to send promotional email, to build an advertising profile, or to make automated decisions about a reader. The site does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
Legal bases for visitors outside the United States
If your jurisdiction requires a legal basis for processing, the site relies on legitimate interests for operating and improving the site, consent where a cookie choice is offered, and your request when you send an email. You can withdraw consent at any time by changing your browser settings or by contacting the site.
Sharing information
The site does not share personal information with advertisers or data brokers. Limited sharing can happen with service providers that host the site or measure traffic, and only to the extent needed to provide that function. Information may also be disclosed when the law requires it or when it is necessary to protect the site and its readers.
Third-party links
Pages link to official government sites and, in some cases, to other resources. Once you follow a link, the destination site’s privacy notice applies. Connecticut Company Search does not control those sites and is not responsible for what they collect or how they use it. Read the notice on the destination site before you submit personal information there.
Data retention
Email messages are kept only as long as needed to handle the request and any follow-up. Technical logs are kept for a short period and then deleted or aggregated. The site does not maintain a customer database, because it has no customers, accounts, or subscriptions. Aggregated statistics may be kept longer because they do not identify a person.
Security
The site uses standard measures to protect the data it holds, including encrypted connections and access controls on the systems that run it. No website can promise perfect security. If you believe you have found a vulnerability, report it to the contact address and avoid testing it against other readers or accessing data that is not yours.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information is held about you, to request a copy, to ask for a correction, or to ask for deletion. Send the request to info@connecticutcompanysearch.us. The site will respond within a reasonable period and may ask for enough detail to locate the information you mean. A request can be made by email and does not require an account, since the site does not have one, and no fee is charged for a reasonable request.
Children’s privacy
The site is written for adults who are researching a business, a filing, or a public record. It is not directed at children, and the site does not knowingly collect personal information from a child. If you believe a child has sent personal information, contact the site and the information will be removed.
International visitors
The site is published in the United States and is aimed at readers researching Connecticut records. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy rules can differ from those in your home jurisdiction. The site applies the practices described on this page regardless of where a reader is located.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is no shared standard for how a site should respond, and the site does not currently change its behaviour when the signal is present. You can limit measurement through your browser settings or through the cookie controls described in the cookies policy.
What the site does not collect
The site does not ask for a Social Security number, a tax number, a bank detail, or a copy of an identity document. It does not run an account system, so there is no password to protect. If a message contains sensitive information, the site will not add it to a database, and you can ask for it to be deleted.
Cookies set by others
A page may include a link to an official site, and that site can set its own cookies after you follow the link. The site does not control those cookies. It also does not embed advertising networks or social plugins that track you across other sites.
Email security
Email is not a perfectly secure channel. Avoid sending sensitive documents in a first message. If a request needs a document, the site will describe what is needed and whether a safer route exists. Ordinary messages about a page correction do not need any attachment.
Your choices
You can block cookies in your browser, clear stored data, and use a private window for a one-off visit. You can ask what information is held about you and request a correction or deletion. You can also choose not to email the site, since every page is readable without contacting anyone.
How to make a complaint
If you believe the site has handled your information improperly, send a description to the contact address and allow time for a response. Include the page, the date, and what happened. The site will describe what it can correct and what falls outside its control, such as a third-party site.
Glossary
Personal information means data that can identify a person. Aggregated data means combined statistics that do not identify a person. A cookie is a small file stored by a browser. A processor is a service that handles data on the site’s behalf. These terms are used in the ordinary sense on this page.
A note on government sites
The official sites linked from these pages are run by government agencies and follow their own privacy rules. A request sent to the Secretary of the State is handled under those rules, not this policy. Read the notice on the government site before you submit personal information there.
Changes to this policy
This policy is reviewed when the site changes how it handles information, or when a legal requirement changes. The date at the top of the page shows the last review. The site does not send an email when the policy is updated, so a reader who needs the current version should check the page itself rather than an old copy. The terms and conditions describe the rules for using the site.
Contact Information
Privacy questions, including a request to access or delete information, go to the email below. Include enough detail to identify the message you sent and the date, because the site keeps no account records. A request about a government filing has to go to the agency that holds it, since this address cannot reach those systems.
