Information You Provide
Search requests
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our side. The provider’s own notices and terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
Messages sent through a contact method may include an email address and the information supplied in the message. We retain that information only as needed to answer the message or maintain a related record, and do not disclose it outside our organization unless required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most web services, the site and its service providers can receive routine information when a page loads. This helps operate the service, understand technical problems, and measure basic use.
- IP address
- Browser and browser version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, if supplied
- Visit timestamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools can be used to understand site use and support features. A visitor may block or remove cookies through browser settings. Some parts of the service may behave differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
We use available information to operate and improve the service, respond to a message, and maintain its security and reliability. It may also help us understand which pages are useful and whether a feature is functioning as intended.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Route a search request to the relevant partner
- Measure page usefulness and correct technical errors
- Prevent misuse and maintain security
- Support advertising that may be interest-based
Outside Services and Links
The site links to public offices, courts, corrections resources, search providers, and other outside services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that service’s privacy practices apply. Some advertising partners may collect activity across sites for their own interest-based advertising systems; those systems are not operated by this site.
Possible Data Recipients
Personal data is not sold. Information can be shared only with the parties needed for the uses described here or when a lawful obligation requires it.
- Search partners handling a submitted query
- Analytics and hosting providers
- Advertising networks
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security and Young Users
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor has submitted personal information so the request can be reviewed.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and identity verification, a visitor may ask about personal information held through a direct message or contact request.
- Request a copy of data held
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion where appropriate
- Opt out of certain processing where available
Policy Changes
This notice can change as the service, its partners, or legal requirements change. An updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Continued use after posting is subject to the updated notice.
