Privacy Policy
This page lays out what information we gather when you use our website, how that information gets used, and who else may have access to it. By browsing or using any part of this site, you agree to these practices.
Information You Provide to Us
Search Queries
When you enter a name, city, or other details into one of our search tools, that data is sent directly to the third-party provider that runs the search. We pass your query along so they can deliver results. We do not keep a copy of your search terms on our servers.
Contact Messages
If you reach out to us through email or a contact form, we hold on to that message so we can respond and follow up as needed. Your message stays with our team and is not shared with outside parties unless a legal obligation requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit a page on our site, our web servers record some technical data on their own:
- Your IP address
- The browser and version you are using
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you looked at and how much time you spent on each
- The website that referred you here, if there was one
- Date and time stamps for each page load
Cookies
Our site places cookies on your device. These are small text files that help us understand how visitors move through the site, which pages draw the most traffic, and where people tend to leave. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings if you prefer. Keep in mind that doing so may cause some site features to work differently.
How We Put This Information to Use
The data we collect serves these purposes:
- Running and maintaining the site
- Routing your search queries to the correct partner service
- Understanding which pages perform well and which need work
- Identifying and resolving technical problems
- Displaying advertisements that may be relevant to you
External Links
Our pages link to government websites, court portals, legal aid groups, and search partners. Clicking one of those links takes you off our site and onto theirs. At that point, their own privacy rules apply. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any outside site before sharing personal details with them.
Some advertising partners may track browsing behavior across multiple websites over time in order to deliver targeted ads based on your interests.
Who We Share Data With
We do not sell your personal information. However, we do share certain data with:
- Search partners that process queries submitted through our tools
- Analytics providers that help us measure site performance
- Advertising networks that display ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or other authorities when required by a valid legal demand
Security Measures
We follow standard security practices to protect the data we collect. That said, no system connected to the internet is completely immune to risk. We do everything reasonable to safeguard your information, but we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Children and Minors
This site is designed for use by adults. We do not knowingly gather personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request a copy of whatever personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Request that we delete your data
- Opt out of specific types of data processing
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy from time to time. When updates are made, the new version will be posted on this page with a revised date. Check back periodically if you want to stay informed about how we handle data.
