Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search term into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method, we may keep the contents and reply information long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires it.
