Information You Submit
Search terms
A name or place entered into a search box is sent to the third-party company that powers that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of a query.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to answer. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Normal web services can record details with each page request. That may include:
- the internet protocol address used for the visit;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- request dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. You may block cookies in your browser, although some site or partner features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data helps operate and improve the service.
- keep pages available and responsive;
- send a search request to the selected provider;
- measure which guides readers find useful;
- diagnose faults and security events; and
- display advertising that may reflect interests.
Other Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, public-record portals, release tools, or third-party search services. The destination's own privacy notice applies after you leave this site. Some advertising partners may measure visits across websites for interest-based ads. That activity occurs through the partner's systems.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be processed by:
- search partners that receive a submitted query;
- analytics vendors that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver ads; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may ask that it be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Send the request through the Contacts page. Rights may vary by jurisdiction, and identity verification may be required.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with its new effective date.
