Privacy Notice

This notice describes what this private reference service collects, how that information is used and shared, and the choices visitors have.

Information Provided Directly

Search queries

A name or location typed into a search tool goes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. The service itself does not store or log those search terms.

Messages

Messages or email supplied through a contact channel are kept to answer the inquiry. They stay inside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.


Technical Data and Cookies

Standard technical information may be collected when a page loads. It includes the following.

  • IP address.
  • Browser, version, device type, and operating system.
  • Pages viewed, time on page, referring source, and timestamps.

Cookies help measure site use. Browser settings can block them. Some features may work differently with cookies turned off.


How Information Is Used

Technical and submitted information may be used to operate the service, route a search request to the right partner, learn which pages help, fix technical problems, and deliver advertising that may reflect interests.


Other Websites and Recipients

Links lead to official rosters, courts, corrections agencies, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this service, each destination follows its own privacy practices. Advertising partners may also measure activity across sites with their own systems.

Personal information is not sold. It may be received by search partners handling a request, by analytics services, by advertising networks, or by a government or law-enforcement body when a valid legal order requires disclosure.


Security and Young Visitors

Reasonable security practices are used. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, though. This service is intended for adults and knowingly collects nothing from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor supplied personal data, and it will be reviewed for deletion.


Your Choices and Policy Updates

A visitor may request a copy of held personal data, a correction of inaccurate information, deletion where it applies, or an opt-out from certain processing. This notice may change. A revised version takes effect when posted here.
