Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, what we do with it, and who else might see it. Using this site means you are okay with the practices described below.
Information We Gather
What You Give Us Directly
If you run a search on our site, you type in names and a state. That information goes straight to the third-party search provider that handles the lookup. We don't store those search details on our end.
What Gets Logged Automatically
When your browser loads one of our pages, certain technical data is recorded by default. This includes:
- The IP address assigned to your connection
- Your browser type and version
- The kind of device you are on and its operating system
- Which pages you looked at and how much time you spent
- The site or link that brought you here
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Tracking
Our site places small text files on your device called cookies. These let us track how visitors move through the site so we can figure out which pages are helpful and which ones need work. Most browsers let you turn cookies off, though doing so might affect how certain parts of the site behave.
What We Do With Your Data
The information we collect serves a handful of purposes:
- Making sure the site loads and works the way it should
- Sending your search queries along to our partner services
- Looking at traffic trends so we can improve the experience
- Catching technical problems early and resolving them
- Showing advertisements that may be relevant to you
When You Leave Our Site
Our pages contain links to external search tools, advertisers, and other third-party websites. The moment you click one of those links, you are on someone else's site and their own privacy rules apply. We encourage you to read their policies before giving them any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may use tracking technology to follow browsing activity across different websites. This helps them serve ads that line up with topics you have shown interest in.
Who We Share Data With
Your personal information is not for sale. That said, some sharing does happen:
- Search partners that process the name lookups you run on our site
- Analytics platforms that help us measure traffic and usage patterns
- Advertising networks that place and manage ads on our pages
- Government or law enforcement bodies, but only if we are legally required to comply
Security Measures
We take reasonable precautions to protect the data we handle. Standard security practices are in place, but no website can promise total protection. While we work to keep things safe, we can't guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This website is built for adults. We don't intentionally gather information from anyone under the age of 18. If a parent or guardian discovers that a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we will delete it promptly.
Your Options and Rights
Your rights depend on where you live and what laws apply there, but in general you may be able to:
- Ask us what personal data we hold about you
- Have incorrect information corrected
- Request that we erase your data from our systems
- Opt out of specific data uses, such as targeted advertising
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time. When changes go into effect, the revised version will be posted on this page. It is a good idea to check in periodically so you know where things stand.
