Information You Provide
Search entries
A name or place typed into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This service does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Messages or email sent through a contact method may be retained to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal page requests can provide technical information used to operate and improve the service, including:
- IP address
- Browser and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring site, if any
- Visit timestamps

How Information Is Used
Technical and message information may be used to keep the service available and responsive, route a query to the appropriate partner, understand useful pages, find technical problems, and show advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests.
External Services
Links can lead to sheriff, corrections, court, government, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this service, the other operator's privacy policy applies. Advertising partners may also track activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.
Information Recipients
Personal information is not sold. It can be disclosed to a search provider processing a query, analytics services, advertising networks, or government and law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
Reasonable safeguards are used for the information handled here, but no internet-connected system can guarantee complete security. Transmission, storage, and external services carry risks that cannot be eliminated.
People Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor submits information, contact the service to request deletion.
Data Requests
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may request a copy of personal information held here, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of information, or an opt out of certain processing. A request does not control records held by a sheriff, court, correctional agency, or third-party search provider.
Policy Changes
This notice may change as the service changes. A revised notice becomes effective when posted with its new effective date.
