Information You Provide
Search submissions
A name, location, or other term entered into a search widget is sent to the independent provider operating that search service. We do not store or log those search terms on this site.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, we retain the information supplied to respond and maintain the exchange. We do not disclose messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for it.
Technical Information and Cookies
Like most websites, each page request can create technical records. These can include an IP address, browser and version, device type and operating system, pages viewed and time spent, referring page, and timestamps.
- IP address and approximate connection information
- Browser, operating system, and device details
- Visited pages, referral source, and session timing
- Diagnostics used to maintain performance and security
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help us understand site use and support site functions. A visitor may block or delete cookies in browser settings, although some features can then behave differently.
How We Use Information
Technical and message information is used to operate the site, improve page performance, respond to contacts, route a submitted search to the selected partner service, understand which resources readers find useful, identify technical problems, and support advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
Outside Links and Service Providers
This site links to government portals, court systems, custody locators, and search providers. Those sites have independent terms and privacy practices. A link does not give this site control over another organization’s content, availability, pricing, security, or handling of submitted information. Review the policy of an outside service before providing information there.
When Information May Be Shared
Information may be processed by search partners, hosting and analytics providers, advertising networks, and vendors that help operate the site. It can also be disclosed when required by a valid legal order or to protect the site, visitors, or others where law permits. We do not sell contact-message contents as a standalone product.
Security and Children
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. This site is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly seek personal information from them. A parent or guardian who believes a child supplied information may contact us to request review.
Your Choices and Policy Changes
Visitors may ask about personal information submitted through a contact message, request correction or deletion where appropriate, or opt out of future nonessential messages. Send requests through the Contact Us page. This notice may be revised to reflect operational, legal, or service changes. The current version applies when it is posted.
