Privacy Policy
This page explains what information we gather while you use our site, the ways we put that information to work, and the circumstances under which it may be shared with outside parties. By accessing any page on this website, you acknowledge and accept the data practices outlined here.
Information You Provide to Us
Search Queries
When you enter a name, location, or any other search term into one of the lookup tools on our site, that input is transmitted directly to the third-party service powering the search. They handle the processing and deliver the results back to you. We do not retain or log any of the search terms you submit through our platform.
Messages and Correspondence
If you reach out to us through email or a contact form, we retain that correspondence so we can address your question and follow up if necessary. Your messages remain within our organization. We will not share them with any outside party unless we are compelled to do so by a valid legal obligation.
Information Collected Automatically
Each time you load a page on this site, our servers automatically capture certain technical data about your visit, including:
- The IP address associated with your connection
- Your browser type and its version number
- The kind of device and operating system you are using
- Which pages you viewed and the amount of time spent on each
- The referring website that directed you here, if applicable
- Date and time stamps for each page request
Cookies
Our site relies on cookies, which are small data files placed on your device. They help us recognize usage trends, such as which pages draw the most visitors and where people tend to leave. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies at any time. Keep in mind that disabling them may affect how certain features of the site function.
How We Put This Information to Use
The data we collect serves several practical purposes:
- Maintaining site uptime, stability, and acceptable page load speeds
- Routing your search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Identifying which pages visitors find most valuable and which ones could use improvement
- Diagnosing and resolving technical problems
- Delivering advertisements that may be relevant to your browsing activity
Links to External Websites
Throughout this site, we include links to county portals, state agency pages, legal assistance organizations, and third-party search services. Following any of those links takes you away from our site and onto a platform we do not control. Their own privacy policy governs your visit from that point forward. Review it before submitting any personal details.
Some advertising partners may track your browsing activity across multiple websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking operates on their infrastructure, not ours.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell personal data. However, certain information may be accessible to:
- Search partners responsible for processing queries submitted through our site
- Analytics providers we use to measure site traffic and performance metrics
- Advertising networks that display ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or regulatory bodies when required by a valid legal order or subpoena
Steps We Take to Secure Your Data
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the data we handle. That said, no system connected to the internet is entirely immune to risk. We take reasonable precautions to keep your information safe, but we cannot provide an absolute guarantee against unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
This website is intended for use by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided data to us, please get in touch and we will remove it promptly.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you reside, you may have specific legal rights regarding your personal information, such as the ability to:
- Request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Opt out of specific types of data processing
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to revise this privacy policy at any time. When updates are made, the revised version will be posted on this page along with a new effective date. We encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed about how we manage your information.
