Information You Provide
Search Terms
A name, location, or similar term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If you send a message through an available site contact channel, we retain the information in it as needed to reply or handle the request. We do not disclose messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most web services, the site and its service providers may automatically receive technical information when a page is loaded. This information helps operate, secure, and improve the service.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- Referring website, if one is available
- Dates and times of access
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help show how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
We use the information described above to maintain the site and understand whether its pages and tools work as intended.
- Operate and improve the site’s speed and reliability
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Understand which pages readers find useful
- Detect, investigate, and correct technical problems
- Support advertising that may be matched to general interests
External Services and Links
The site links to public offices, record locators, court services, corrections pages, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that operator’s privacy policy and practices apply. Review those terms before submitting information to another service.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That collection occurs under the partner’s policies, not this site’s policy.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed only to the limited categories below when needed for the stated purpose or when legally required.
- Search partners that process a search request
- Analytics providers that measure site performance
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising
- Law enforcement or another public authority acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards suited to the service. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, altered, or disclosed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor has provided information, use the Contact Us page to request its removal.

Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the relevant information, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information we hold

Send a request through the Contact Us page. We may need enough information to verify the request and to understand the data involved.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or applicable practices change. The revised version will be posted here with a new effective date.
