Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not keep or log those query terms on our own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless the law requires it.
