Privacy Policy
This page spells out what data we collect when you visit our site, how we handle it, and who else might see it. Using any part of this website means you accept the practices described here.
Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or other details into one of our search tools, that information goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the search. We pass it along so they can pull up results for you. We do not store your search terms on our end.
Messages You Send
If you write to us through email or a contact form, we keep that message so we can reply and handle any follow-up. Your message stays with our team. We will not hand it to outside parties unless the law says we have to.
Data We Pick Up Automatically
Our web servers log some technical details each time a page loads:
- Your IP address
- Which browser you are using and its version
- The type of device and operating system
- Pages you visited and how long you stayed on each one
- The site that sent you here, if one did
- Timestamps for every page view
Cookies
We use cookies. These are small files stored on your device that help us see how people move through the site, which pages get the most views, and where visitors tend to drop off. Your browser settings let you block cookies if you want. Just know that turning them off might change how parts of the site work for you.
What We Do With This Data
Here is how we put the collected data to work:
- Keeping the site up and running smoothly
- Sending your search queries to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages are useful and which ones need attention
- Tracking down and fixing technical glitches
- Showing ads that might be relevant to what you are looking for
Links That Leave Our Site
We link out to government sites, court portals, legal aid groups, and search partners. When you click one of those links, you land on their site and their privacy rules take over. Take a look at their privacy policy before you share any personal info with them.
Certain advertising partners may follow your browsing across different websites to show you ads based on your interests. That tracking is on their end, not ours.
Who Gets Access to Your Data
We do not sell personal information. That said, some data does go to:
- Search partners that handle the queries you submit through our tools
- Analytics services that help us measure how the site performs
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government agencies if a valid legal demand compels us to
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security measures to keep collected data safe. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We take reasonable steps to guard your information, though we cannot promise that a breach is impossible.
Children Under 18
This site is built for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has given us their info, get in touch and we will delete it.
What You Can Ask For
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Ask for a copy of the personal data we have on you
- Tell us to fix anything that is wrong
- Ask us to erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
We may change this policy down the road. When we do, the updated version goes up on this page with a new date. Stop by now and then if you want to stay in the loop about how we handle data.
