Information you provide
A name, place, or other query entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our side. If you send an inquiry, we may retain the message and contact details needed to reply. We do not disclose them outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical data and cookies
When a page loads, service providers may collect routine technical data, including an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring page, and timestamps. Cookies help measure use and remember certain settings. You can limit cookies through browser controls, although a feature may work differently as a result.
How data is used
- Operate, secure, and improve the site.
- Route a search request to the partner that receives it.
- Understand which guides are useful and resolve technical problems.
- Measure traffic and deliver advertising that may be tailored to interests.
Other sites and advertising
Links may lead to government offices, court systems, custody locators, news sources, and third-party search services. Their privacy practices apply after you leave this site. Advertising partners may collect information across websites on their own systems for interest-based advertising; their policies control that activity.
Who may receive data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed by search partners handling a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or government and law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security practices
We use reasonable safeguards for information handled by the site, but no internet-connected service can guarantee complete security.
Users under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us to request its deletion.
Your choices
You may ask about personal information we hold, request a correction or deletion where applicable, or opt out of certain processing. Use the Contacts page for a privacy inquiry. A request should identify the information at issue without sending unnecessary sensitive documents.
Policy changes
We may revise this notice as practices or services change. The current version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
