How Information Is Used
Collected information can be used to operate and improve the service, route a search request to the appropriate partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical problems, and support advertising that may be based on interests.
Outside Services and Links
Links lead to public offices, custody locators, court systems, search tools, and other resources. Once you follow a link, that destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use. Some advertising partners may track activity across sites on their own systems for targeted advertising. We do not control their policies or technology.

- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that help measure site use
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information, but no Internet-connected system can promise absolute security. Transmission and storage risks cannot be eliminated completely.
