How Information Is Used
We use technical and message information to operate the site, route a search to the applicable partner, understand which pages are useful, investigate faults, and support advertising that may be interest-based.
Outside Services and Sharing
Links lead to public offices, records portals, and third-party tools with their own privacy practices. Advertising partners may measure activity across sites on their own systems. We do not sell personal information, but data may be processed by search partners, analytics providers, ad networks, or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security, Minors, and Choices
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no online system can promise complete security. The service is for adults and does not knowingly collect data from people under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted personal information. You may ask for a copy of data we hold, correction of inaccurate information, deletion where applicable, or an opt-out of certain processing.
Policy Changes
We may revise this notice. A revised version will be posted here and will identify its updated effective date.
