Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, location, or other detail entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own system.
Messages
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
A page visit may create standard technical records, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when provided; and
- access timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block cookies through browser settings, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Data Supports Operations
Collected information may be used to:
- operate the site and maintain performance;
- send a search request to the selected partner;
- understand which resources visitors use;
- detect and repair technical problems; and
- display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to sheriff or corrections pages, release-record portals, government services, and outside search tools. After you follow a link, that operator’s privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across multiple websites and tailor ads. That cross-site processing occurs on their services, not ours.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be received by:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers measuring site traffic;
- advertising networks delivering ads; and
- law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical practices intended to protect information. No internet service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may ask us to delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Available rights can depend on where you live and the nature of the request.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise these practices as technology or operations change. A revised notice takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
