Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or similar lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own record system.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
