Effective date: July 31, 2026
1. Information we collect
We may collect information you submit, such as search inputs, account details, support messages, billing information handled by a payment processor, and privacy-request details. We may also collect device, browser, log, cookie, referral, and usage data.
2. Public-record and provider data
In production, search results may be supplied by third-party public-record, identity, telephone, property, court, or data-aggregation providers. This website should disclose each material provider category and contractually restrict unlawful use.
3. How information is used
Information may be used to provide searches, process payments, maintain accounts, prevent fraud, secure the service, answer support requests, process privacy rights, improve performance, and comply with law.
4. How information is disclosed
Information may be disclosed to hosting, analytics, security, payment, customer-support, search-data, and legal-service providers; to authorities when legally required; or during a corporate transaction. Do not claim that data is never sold or shared unless that statement is true for every provider and advertising workflow.
5. Cookies and analytics
Describe every analytics, advertising, session, fraud-prevention, and preference cookie used in production. Provide consent controls where required and honor Global Privacy Control where applicable.
6. Data retention
Keep data only as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, legal obligations, security, disputes, and enforcement. Set specific retention schedules for search logs, customer records, payment references, support tickets, and privacy requests.
7. Security
Use encryption in transit, secure password hashing, least-privilege access, logging, backups, vulnerability management, and incident-response procedures. No system can guarantee absolute security.
8. Your privacy choices
Depending on location, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, limit, opt out of sale or sharing, and appeal a request decision. Links to removal and do-not-sell/share request forms appear in the footer.
9. Children
The service is not intended for children under 18, and accounts or searches should not knowingly be marketed to them.
10. International use
The search tools are intended for U.S.-focused data. International visitors should be told where data is processed and what transfer safeguards apply.
11. Changes
Material changes should be posted with a revised effective date and, where required, additional notice or consent.
