Information Supplied Directly
Search entries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The site does not independently store or log the terms entered into the provider’s search form.
Messages
Information sent in an email or contact message may be kept to respond, troubleshoot, or maintain a record of the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization except where a legal requirement applies.

- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, though parts of the site or partner services may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information may be used to operate and improve the site, direct a search request to the relevant partner, understand which material is useful, diagnose technical issues, and present advertising that may be tailored by a partner. It is not sold as a visitor list.
Links and Outside Services
Links lead to government record pages, court and corrections resources, local reporting, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other service’s privacy practices apply. Advertising partners may collect activity across websites through their own systems; their policies govern that collection.
Possible Recipients
Personal data is not sold. It may be processed or disclosed to the limited groups needed for the purposes described here.
- Search partners that receive search submissions
- Analytics and hosting providers
- Advertising networks
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security and Young Visitors
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact the site if a minor has submitted personal information and deletion is requested.
Choices and Updates
A visitor may ask for a copy of information held about them, request correction or deletion where applicable, or opt out of certain processing. This notice may change as the service changes. The current version will be posted here with its updated effective date.
