Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, place, or other term into a search tool, that query is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
We retain an email or message sent through a contact method only as needed to reply or manage the inquiry. We do not share it outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
