How Information Is Used
Technical and message data may be used to operate the service, direct a query to its chosen search partner, understand which material is useful, diagnose faults, and deliver advertising that may be relevant to visitors.
External Websites
Links may lead to public offices, roster systems, corrections resources, courts, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy practices govern information provided there.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites on their own systems for interest-based advertising. That collection is subject to the partner’s policies.

- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site activity
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Government bodies or law enforcement responding to a valid legal demand
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information. No online system is entirely secure, however, and absolute security cannot be promised.

Privacy Choices
