Information You Provide
Search entries
A name or place typed into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
We retain an email or a contact message only to respond or maintain a communication record. It is not shared outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement requires disclosure.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the service may collect routine technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address
- browser and version
- device type and operating system
- pages viewed and time spent on them
- referring site, when present
- access date and time
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure use of the service. Browser settings can block or remove them, though some features may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Technical and submitted information may be used for the following operational purposes:
- operate and improve page performance
- route a query to the relevant search partner
- understand which content is useful
- diagnose and fix technical problems
- deliver advertising that may reflect interests
External Services
Links may lead to Sheriff, corrections, court, custody, government, news, or search-partner services. Once a reader follows a link, that destination's privacy practices control its data handling.
Advertising partners may track activity across websites on their own systems for interest-based advertising. Those practices are governed by the partner's own notice.
Limited Sharing
We do not sell personal information. It may be disclosed to the following limited recipients when necessary:
- search partners that process a submitted query
- analytics providers
- advertising networks
- law-enforcement or government bodies under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information in our control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so an absolute security guarantee cannot be made.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us to request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
