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 challengeNone detected
  • Owner notificationAvailable

Portal audited: www.grandcounty.org/?rb.routing.mode=proxy&rb.routing.signature=304938

Doing well

  • A notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed

Room to grow

  • Expanding the robots.txt file to disallow automated scrapers

What to ask for

Three low-cost protections that residents in other counties have found valuable:

1. Adding robots.txt rules that disallow automated scrapers

2. Including a Terms of Use that prohibits automated access

3. Implementing a notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed (per the AZ, FL, HI, IL, UT model)
