Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information that may be collected when you use this private reference site, why it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which it can be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices.

Information you provide

Search queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those terms on our own systems.

Messages

Messages sent to us may be retained to respond. They are not shared outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.


Automatic technical data

Like most web services, the site may receive technical information during a visit. This can include IP address, browser and version, device type, operating system, pages viewed, time on a page, referring site, and timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies help measure use and keep features working. Browser controls can limit or block them, though some functions may then behave differently.


How data is used

Technical and message data may help operate, protect, and improve the site.

  • Maintain performance and basic site operation.
  • Send a search request to the provider selected by the widget.
  • Understand which material visitors use.
  • Find and correct service problems.
  • Support advertising that may reflect inferred interests.

External services and links

Links can lead to government portals, custody locators, court systems, or outside search tools. Their own privacy practices govern information provided after you leave this site. Advertising partners may measure activity across websites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.


Possible recipients

We do not sell personal information. It can be processed or disclosed to the limited parties needed to provide the service or meet a legal duty.

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Analytics vendors used to understand site performance.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security

Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Please do not transmit sensitive information that is unnecessary for a message.


Visitors under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if a minor has submitted personal information so it can be reviewed for deletion.
