Privacy Policy
This page explains what data we collect when you visit our site, what we do with it, and who else might see it. Using this site means you are OK with these practices.
Data You Give Us Directly
Search Inputs
When you type a name, location, or other detail into one of our search tools, that info goes straight to the third-party search provider that powers the tool. We pass it along so they can give you results. We don't store your search queries on our end.
Messages and Feedback
If you send us a message through our contact form or email, we keep that message so we can reply and follow up. We don't share it with anyone outside our team unless we have to for legal reasons.
Data We Collect on Our Own
Every time you load a page on our site, our servers automatically log some technical info:
- Your IP address
- What browser you're using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you viewed and how long you stayed
- The site that sent you here (if any)
- Timestamps for each page visit
Cookies
We use cookies to track how visitors move through the site. Small text files stored on your device. They help us see which pages get traffic and where people drop off. If you want to block cookies, you can do that in your browser settings. Some features may not work as well without them.
What We Do with This Data
We use the info we collect to:
- Keep the site up and running
- Send your search queries to the right partner service
- Figure out which pages are working and which need fixes
- Spot and fix bugs or technical issues
- Show ads that might be useful to you
Links to Other Sites
We link out to government websites, court systems, legal aid organizations, and search partners. Once you click one of those links, you leave our site. Their rules take over at that point. We'd suggest checking their privacy policies before you hand over any personal info.
Some of our ad partners track browsing activity across the web over time. They do this to show you targeted ads based on your interests and habits.
Who Else Sees Your Data
We don't sell your personal info. But we do share certain data with:
- Search partners who process the queries you run through our tools
- Analytics services that help us measure how the site performs
- Ad networks that serve ads on our pages
- Law enforcement if we get a valid legal request that requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to guard the data we collect. But nothing online is bulletproof. We take every reasonable step we can, though we can't promise that a breach will never happen.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has sent us personal info, reach out and we'll delete it.
What You Can Do
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Ask for a copy of whatever personal data we have on you
- Tell us to fix data that's wrong
- Ask us to delete your data
- Say no to certain ways we use your data
Updates to This Policy
We may change this policy now and then. When we do, the new version goes up on this page with a fresh date. Check back once in a while if you want to stay in the loop.
