If personal information is requested on the website or is volunteered by the user, state and federal law may protect that information. However, all information becomes a public record once it is provided and may be subject to public inspection and copying if not protected by federal or state law.

Furthermore, the information filed with San Miguel County may be stored electronically and may be made accessible to the public through the County’s website. Except where disclosure is protected by law, the information that is electronically stored may be inspected by private individuals and entities.
