What the audit checked

Four low-cost protections every online records portal can have. How we rate counties.

  • robots.txtYes — permissive
  • Terms of useNot checked
  • Bot challengeCloudflare bot detection
  • Owner notificationUnknown

Portal audited: prowerscountyco-web.tylerhost.net/web/search/DOCSEARCH575S1, qpublic.schneidercorp.com/Application.aspx?App=ProwersCountyCO&PageType=Search, www.prowerscounty.net/government/treasurer_and_public_trustee/staff.php

Doing well

  • Technical barriers (cloudflare) that deter casual bulk access

Room to grow

  • Expanding the robots.txt file to disallow automated scrapers

What to ask for

Building on the protections already in place, you might consider a property-owner notification system (like the ones AZ, FL, HI, IL, and UT have implemented) and a formal data-governance policy that addresses commercial data aggregators.
