Information you provide
Search terms
A name, place, or other term entered into a search feature is sent to the independent provider that operates that feature. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we may retain the information you provide so that we can respond. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

How we use information

External sites and advertising
This site links to official offices, corrections resources, court services, and independent search tools. Once you follow an outbound link, that destination’s privacy notice and practices control its handling of your information.
Advertising partners may collect or use information across websites to provide interest-based advertising through their own systems. Those systems are not operated by this site.
Recipients of information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed or disclosed to the following categories when needed:
- search partners that handle a submitted query;
- analytics providers;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that transmitted or stored data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor provided information to us, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.
