Privacy Policy

This page explains what types of data we collect when you visit our site, how that data gets handled, and the circumstances under which it might be shared. By browsing any page on this website, you agree to the practices outlined below.

Information You Provide to Us

Search Terms

When you enter a name, place, or other keyword into a search tool on our site, that query is sent directly to the third-party service that powers the search. They process your input and return results. We do not save or maintain any record of the search terms you type on our side.

Contact Messages

If you reach out to us through email or a contact form, we keep that message on file so we can respond and follow up as needed. Those messages stay with our internal team. We will not pass them along to anyone outside our organization unless we are legally compelled to do so.

Information Collected Automatically

Each time a page on this site loads, our servers record certain technical details about the visit. This includes:

  • The IP address your device is using
  • Your browser type and its version number
  • What kind of device and operating system you are on
  • Which pages you looked at and how much time you spent on each
  • The website that referred you here, if there was one
  • The date and time of each page load

Cookies

Our site places cookies on your device. Cookies are small data files that help us understand how visitors move through the site. They show us things like which pages get the most views and where people tend to leave. You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies at any time. Keep in mind that doing so may change how certain parts of the site work for you.

How We Put This Data to Use

The data we gather serves a few specific purposes:

  • Making sure the site runs smoothly and loads at a reasonable pace
  • Routing your search queries to the correct partner service
  • Understanding which pages visitors find helpful and which ones fall short
  • Identifying and resolving technical problems
  • Displaying ads that may be relevant to your interests

Third-Party Links and Sites

We link to court portals, state agency websites, legal aid groups, and outside search tools throughout the site. When you click one of those links, you leave our site and land on theirs. Their privacy policy takes over from that point forward. Read it before you hand over any personal details on their end.

Some of our advertising partners may track your browsing activity across multiple websites in order to serve targeted ads. That tracking takes place on their platforms, not ours.

Who May Access Your Data

We do not sell your personal data to anyone. However, certain information may be shared with:

  • Search partners that process the queries you run through our site
  • Analytics providers we rely on to measure site traffic and performance
  • Advertising networks that serve ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government authorities when legally required

Data Security Measures

We use standard security practices to protect the data we collect. That said, no system connected to the internet is completely immune to risk. We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe, but we cannot offer an absolute guarantee against every possible breach.

Visitors Under 18

This website is designed for use by adults. We do not intentionally collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with their information, contact us and we will remove it promptly.

Your Rights Regarding Your Data

Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights over your personal information. These can include the ability to:

  • Request a copy of any data we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Request that your data be deleted
  • Opt out of certain types of data processing

Changes to This Policy

We may revise this privacy policy at some point down the road. When that happens, the revised version will appear on this page with a new effective date. Check back from time to time if you want to stay informed about how we handle your data.
