Information You Submit
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own permanent log of those search terms. The provider's privacy policy controls how that provider handles the query.
Contact Messages
If you send an email or other direct message, we may keep the message, your contact details, and related correspondence long enough to review and respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement, valid order, or safety issue requires it.
