Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the details needed to read it, respond, and handle the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
